Abstract

The concept of professional ideology is defined and discussed, and it is applied to psychiatrists' views about the cause and treatment of mental illness. Existing literature leads to the hypothesis of three orientations as ideologies: somatotherapeutic, psychotherapeutic, and sociotherapeutic. Using data from a sample of psychiatrists, only the first two are shown to satisfy the criteria of professional ideology. The data also reveal that these two treatment ideologies are systematically related to other activities and views of psychiatrists.
