Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objective: To identify some general principles for use in deciding what is psychiatry and what is not. Method: An overview of matters referred to the Clinical Practice Advisory Committee of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. Results: Three domains of psychiatric practice are identified: competence, ethics and performance. A number of quasi-paradoxical dichotomies in the nature of psychiatry have emerged: doctor-specialist, scientist-clinician, humane-commercial. These are not exhaustive. Conclusion: Some useful generalisations can be made about the limits of acceptable psychiatric practice but, within these, there is a need for further investigation of the realities of practice. A pilot study of clinicians' opinions is proposed.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
