In the light of health care reform and other forces affecting clinical practice, it is more important than ever that psychiatrists have information about the career options within their speciality. Career Pathways in Psychiatry serves that purpose "At a time of major upheaval in psychiatry, Career Pathways offers a practical map for career choice, career change, and professional survival itself. In highly revealing personal stories, the 16 contributors speak to us with the kind of candor and practicality we expect from mentors and personal advisors." - James E. Sabin, M.D., Harvard Medical School "Psychiatry is changing rapidly, and the careers of psychiatrists are changing with it. Arthur Lazarus has stimulated 16 leading psychiatrists to tell their stories, and they are fascinating. Psychiatrists involved in private practice, academic leadership, managed care, research, forensics, and the military tell us what their positions feel like from the inside and describe how they attained them. This book will capture the interest of anyone who is, will be, or knows a psychiatrist." - Robert Michels, M.D., Cornell University Medical College
