The question of psychiatry's role in medicine, and in particular its role in the training of primary care physicians (PCPs), is heightened by the knowledge that 60% of the 15% of patients who have DSM-III diagnosable alcohol, drug abuse, and mental health (ADM) disorders are seen exclusively in the general health sector. In addition, although PCPs have a low recognition rate of ADM disorders and are pessimistic about their outcome even with treatment, they prescribe the majority of tricyclic and anxiolytic medications. Models of mental health training for PC residents in training are examined, with particular emphasis on competencies taught, pedagogic vehicles, disciplines of the mental health teacher, and the relationship to departments of psychiatry. A computerized approach to assist the mental health training of primary care physicians developed at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Northwestern is presented. Finally, critical policy issues with regard to psychiatry's future role in training is described.
