[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a psychiatrist.  I don’t see this in my day to day life.

It looks like this study was done on psychiatrists who graduated from Hopkins in the 1950’s.  This is before there were antidepressants, antipsychotics, or mood stabilizers.  Thorazine came out in 1955, but wasn’t widely used.  This is also when all of the studies came out on psilocybin (hallucinogenic mushrooms) and LSD in mental illness.

I’m going to guess that most physicians who became psychiatrists around that time were less conservative and less likely to follow social convention than their counterparts in more traditional specialties.[/quote]

Another psychiatrist here. I agree with the above. I believe this may have been true for the baby boomer cohort, but for Generation X I do not believe it applies. Gen X psychiatrist have a very low divorce rate, are mostly all married, many females went into the profession due to the family friendly hours (although not me) and mostly are very socially conventional.
