The psychiatry board exam is 25% neurology, while the neurology board is 25% psychiatry. Many psychiatry residency programs have all but abandoned psychoanalysis. Few psychiatrist practice it b/c the reimbursement sux plus schizophrenia and depression have much better responses to 2nd generation antipsychotics and SSRIs, respectively than therapy.

Haha... I always knew there was something odd about those brain surgeons...
