Abstract In the field of psychiatric treatment, the patient is more often the subject of behavioral research than the psychiatrist. However, the behavior patterns of the psychiatric practitioner may well have significant bearing upon his treatment of patients. Before the consequences of a psychiatrist's behavior patterns can be explored, it is necessary to establish whether or not psychiatric practitioners share common frames of reference.
