This study is an analysis of psychiatrists' (N = 339) attitudes with regard to the etiology of schizophrenia. A random sample of members of the American Psychiatric Association reveals a strong endorsement of a combined biogenic/environmental perspective. Attitudes are analyzed further with regard to variation by school of thought, years in practice, and treatment setting. Findings are compared with an earlier study to plot shifts in opinions among psychiatrists over time.
