Abstract
The author reviews the history and technology of the microcomputer and discusses the various classes of software that are presently available. Three major categories of software are described: numeric data processing, text processing, and communications. The application of this software to psychiatric education and practice is briefly discussed. A short curriculum on computers for psychiatric residents is outlined, and a brief bibliography of the recent relevant literature on computer applications to medicine and psychiatry is presented. Predictions are made about the future direction of computer technology and its application to psychiatry.
