In a recent ‘Real Psychiatry’ blog post, Dr George Dawson has provided a helpful summary diagram on aspects of the ‘Professional identity of a Psychiatrist’.
Dr Dawson explains in his blog post that he has put together this summary diagram for the purpose of “educating non-psychiatrists” and to challenge recently published NEJM editorial that psychiatrists have some kind of “identity crisis”.
It was welcome to see that the interpersonal skills considered necessary for the professional identity of a psychiatrist closely accord with the Royal College of Psychiatrists core values for psychiatrists
