Joint Appointment

This paper offers a case study of the difficulties involved in associating teachers' college and university in teacher preparation through the device of joint appointment of professor-principal. The dual post, which was created in Melbourne in 1919, terminated in 1939 in an atmosphere in which the aims and ideals of university and State education department respectively were patently in conflict. Compromise negotiations in 1938–1939 served largely instead to underline incompatibilities between bureaucratic control and academic freedom. Even more fundamentally, the 1938–1939 experience demonstrated the difference between departmental stress on “technical” training and university emphasis on liberal education for teachers.

Joint Appointment

Since taking the decision to pursue a career in mental handicap, I have been increasingly aware of the debate surrounding the role of the consultant psychiatrist in this field. Nowhere else in medicine does there seem to be such uncertainty about the continued need for an already established specialty. I believe that one of the major reasons for the continued difficulty in attracting trainees into mental handicap is precisely this uncertainty about its future, which is in no way ameliorated by the College's view that a full time specialist appointment in the psychiatry of mental handicap is not superior to a joint appointment either with adult or child psychiatry.1
