Extract

Although psychiatrists trained in the United States and the British Isles pick out the same areas of psychopathology, American psychiatrists display a tendency, greater than British psychiatrists, to use high ratings of pathology when asked to rate a videotaped clinical interview (Kendell et al., 1971; Sharpe et al., 1974). Within the British Isles Maudsley-trained psychiatrists rated lower than psychiatrists trained at other centres (Copeland et al., 1971).
