[Democratizing the Privileges of Psychiatrists]

Psychiatrists are endowed with many privileges in their clinical practices. These include privileges to engage with personally and socially important disorders, those stemming from the role of psychiatrists as medical professionals, and those given by their situation in the context of a social psychiatric system. These privileges allow psychiatrists to attain profound insight into the significance and value of life. Psychiatrists must inculcate a mission to be aware of and to make use of these privileges for advances in psychiatry and clinical practices. One of the most important privileges of psychiatrists is to share their feeling of self-respect obtained by devoting themselves to "the most important medicine for humans" with their patients, families, and colleagues.
