In view of the increasing emphasis on community psychiatry (Groves, 1990), there is much interest both locally and nationally as to what training experience is available or should be provided. So far, trainees have been bombarded by suggestions as to the essential content of training (e.g. Connolly & Marks, 1989), and enthusiastic accounts of experience gained have been published (e.g. Malcolm, 1989). Not surprisingly, anxiety has also been expressed (Haigh & Wear, 1989).
