Book Description Psychiatry is often seen as a controversial branch of medicine. This book offers a general history of the discipline's professional body in Australia and New Zealand, and its role in the medical profession and society in general over the last fifty years. It traces the The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists's origin and development, and examines the role of key leaders in the College's history. It contains chapters that detail specific aspects of the College's history, including its specialist training and examination program, and the role of the College in the Chelmsford 'Deep Sleep' and Townsville 'Ward 10B' affairs, which received national media coverage.
