Abstract
ABSTRACT:The basis for present inadequacies in the treatment of aged black psychiatric patients is discussed. Training programs in psychiatry should include working with people of a different race. The philosophical and social aspects of black culture should receive more attention. There is often a direct relationship between social status and type of mental illness.
