Psychiatry in Industry

Properly employed, the techniques of psychiatry can make important contributions to the tasks of producing goods and services. The usefulness of industrial psychiatry may be impaired, however, if employers and psychiatrists fail to understand the limitations of the techniques and the kinds of problems for which they are inappropriate. Temple Burling examines the role of the industrial psychiatrist, particularly with respect to the problems of employee morale, selection and placement, and the maintenance of cooperative relationships.
