Is the development of Swedish psychiatry a success or not? Available information allows different answers to this question. Valid knowledge would demand psychiatric health service research on a much larger scale and with considerably higher ambitions than hitherto. Strong arguments can be raised about the need for such research to avoid that psychiatry will remain a medical wasteland in which confused policy makers will allocate less interest and money than ever.

Key Words: Psychiatry • Health services research.
