An attempt is presented to measure and compare attitudes to and ideas about psychiatry and mental health services in Concepcion, Sheffield and Trieste. These cities have in some respects comparable populations but very different mental health services. Questionnaires in English, Italian and Spanish were used to assess the views of professional workers in the field. The information collected showed that the Italian professionals had the highest level of satisfaction with their work, showed most tolerance of deviant behaviour in the community, the least acceptance of diminished responsibility in law and a non- traditional view of psychiatry. Clearly Chilean professionals held a very traditional view and medicalised approach to mental illness but an encouraging theoretical approval towards eventual changes in the services, along with the lowest level of satisfaction with their work. Professionals from Sheffield held an intermediate position coming closer to the theoretical view of the Chileans but nearer to the Italian praxis and therapeutic approach.
