[Reconstruction and psychiatry]

The programme of reconstruction which is under way and which is being implemented by our society makes us consider also controversial aspects which we observe in specialized disciplines of our health services. In psychiatry they have become more acute in the course of years due to the development of personal and tasks. The author draws attention to some problems in the theoretical sphere of the discipline and in ambulatory and institutional care. He deals with problems of training of personnel, consistent with the needs of society.
