Do not resuscitate decisions: discussions with patients.

The problem of psychological pain caused by discussions of do not resuscitate status with patients is addressed. Case histories of patients with such distress are given. We propose that not all patients should be informed of their do not resuscitate status, that the information about such status be given incrementally, and that the giving of further information be guided by the patient's reaction to earlier information. While some affirm the duty of the physician always to inform the patient about his or her do not resuscitate status, we affirm the duty of the physician to determine whether the patient wishes to enter into this discussion.

Supervision and self-esteem in psychiatric teaching.

This paper focuses on the supervisory tasks of empathizing with the student so as to appreciate the student's observations and transferences. It is shown that empathy becomes more difficult to achieve in the training of the foreign graduate whose situation is used as a paradigm for understanding of the teaching tasks. A prominent issue in this paper is the elaboration of the transference needs of the student.
