ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: The traditional roles of psychiatrists are being threatened according to the changes of requests from society. Psychiatrists need to rapidly adapt to new upcoming circumstances, improve leadership skills, and prepare for emerging ethical problems. The aim of this study is to predict and suggest what will happen in the future in the area of mental health, what role models might be required, what we should do and how we can prepare. METHODS: The authors interviewed seven mental health professionals on topics of leadership, participating roles of psychiatrists. Three models for psychiatrists were suggested : clinical model, community leader model, and mental health promoting model. Afterwards, a questionnaire on each role model was distributed to members of the Korean Neuropsychiatric Association via email and results were analyzed. RESULTS: Experts and stakeholders suggested that the following components from the interview will be fostered in the future : leadership in collaboration with other communities, introduction of leadership programs for young psychiatrists, strategies for sensitization of ethical issues, active communication with community partners, training professionals in legislation and administration. Regarding the questionnaire, 32 members responded. The most preferred role model was the Community leader model (46.9%, n=15), followed by the mental health promoting model (34.4%, n=11) and clinical model (15.6%, n=5). Most responders recognized that these issues are emerging and answered affirmatively on the developmental potential of each role model. A question about primary agents who are supposed to take charge of development of a suitable model was answered as follows : university professors for the clinical model (37.5%, n=12), psychiatrists working for public hospitals both for community leader (28.1%, n=9), and mental health promoting model (43.8%, n=14). Various opinions on leadership and strategies for fulfilling the role model were proposed. CONCLUSION: This study investigated leadership, ethics, social roles, and future directions of psychiatrists in order to provide suggestions on how to properly respond to changes of environment. It is expected that this study will be helpful in establishment of guidelines for leadership development and improving ethical orientation of psychiatrists, and will provide an opportunity for Korean NeuroPsychiatric Association members to have deep consideration and radical debate on our transforming roles.
