Iatrogenic dependency disorder.
OBJECTIVE: To argue for the direct election of RANZCP officials as a means of ensuring that College statements and political activities correspond as closely as possible to the opinions and interests of the average psychiatrist. CONCLUSIONS: The case to abolish item 319 and restore 5 day-per-week sessions is out of touch with political reality. It wastes limited political capital by the College, or other psychiatric organizations, that would be better used for other purposes.
