Letter from the Editor

By Lynn Sander, MD

Posted on June 21, 2010 –

After the tenth issue as editor, an event that I have been requesting and hoping for has finally happened. We received not one, but two letters to the editor which are published in this issue. Letters such as these are very important to an editor because, not only do they indicate that the publication is being read, but more significantly that it has provoked thought. I sincerely hope that these letters continue to arrive and the Ethics article this month describing a difficult administrative conundrum certainly lends itself to stimulating discussion. It would be interesting to see how our colleagues in correctional care weigh in on this issue compared to the group of psychiatrists surveyed. As always, I would appreciate letters regarding future topics that you would like covered as well.
