Whom Do You Trust? Obviously Not Psychiatrists

That's the conclusion of the most recent annual Gallup poll—as posted on the APA's own web site.

"Only 38 percent of Americans believe that psychiatrists adhere to 'high' or 'very high' ethical standards..."

"...the majority of respondents rated psychiatrists' honesty and ethical standards as 'average' (42 percent) or 'low' or 'very low' (12 percent)."
