RAWLINGS, Justice
(concurring specially)-
Being satisfied the standard regarding self-incriminating statements made by an accused in course of a psychiatric examination regarding sanity at time of the alleged offense, as espoused in State v. Collins, 236 N.W.2d 376, 382-383 (Iowa 1975) (special concurrence), cert. denied, - U.S. -, 96 S.Ct. 3166, 48 L.Ed.2d -, 44 L.W. 3735, was here commendably applied, I too find an affirmance is in order.
I would hold, however, courts are required to honor and apply the standard thus advocated in the Collins special concurrence. Without abdicating the position taken in Collins as to the physician-patient privilege, id. at 381-383, I concur in the result.
