This paper attempts to address the question, “What is higher training for?”. It then tries to explain some of the principles which have guided the work of the Joint Committee on Higher Psychiatric Training (JCHPT) up to now, and which are sometimes misunderstood by trainers and trainees, and finally, discusses some current problems. The views expressed should not be taken as reflecting the future policy of the JCHPT.
