Summary

There are extrinsic as well as intrinsic limits to the resources available for health care. Therefore, economic factors have become an essential part of medical activity, leading to a disruption of the traditional doctor-patient relationships. A new economic approach of health care (ie, through managed care) and ethical attitude (to overcome the limits of managed care) are essential, especially in psychiatric practice.
