LETTER FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEADPerhaps most important to the residency applicantis the strong future of our department at UIC. Inaddition to our greatest strengths -- students andfaculty -- we have solid support from the College ofMedicine and the University. We have just completedmajor renovation of our NeuropsychiatricInstitute and development of state-of-the-art biologicallaboratories at our Psychiatric Institute. Anew building for the Institute for Juvenile Researchwill open in the fall. A new Magnetic ResonanceImaging Center is under construction.Joseph A. Flaherty, MDAshort 20 years ago the most important criterionin selecting a residency program wasthe school of thought that prevailed there.But back then, psychiatry was considered "soft" ora pseudoscience. Today, it is critical to choose aprogram founded on sound scientific footing. Yourfuture ability to assess, diagnose and treat patientsmust be informed by the latest data, which requiresthe capacity to analyze data and base your treatmenton the best evidence. This can only occurwhere faculty are involved simultaneously in cutting-edgeresearch as well as patient care.Psychiatry at UIC has strong historical roots in thedevelopment of psychosomatic theory, in sociologicaland psychological work on delinquency, and inearly work on biological treatments for depressionand schizophrenia.We have grown from those roots, integrating basicscience and clinical research with patient carewhile developing large data sets to guide treatmentand to inform public policy. A sampling of our currentefforts includes basic research into geneticand environmental influences in schizophrenia - infact, UIC is home to the country's longest runningstudy of schizophrenia. Other projects include alongitudinal study of preteens, looking for patternsin the development of drug use and conduct disorders,and testing interventions that may preventviolence, substance abuse and HIV. We are alsodeveloping important programs exploring the biomechanismsunderlying psychosis and stem celltransplantation as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.We are developing exciting new programs indevelopmental psychobiology, functional magneticresonance imaging and early- onset bipolardisorder.We have strong partnerships with key private andpublic agencies for our research, educational andclinical programs. With these vital partnerships, weare determined to make a difference: to discovernew knowledge and treatments to help mentally illpatients, reduce family suffering and disintegration,and improve the social fabric of communities.Training and educating the next generation is amission the UIC faculty takes quite seriously. Wetake pride in the accomplishments of our residentsin the program and after they graduate. And whileour central mission is to train psychiatrists, theireducation will be enhanced by working and learningalongside other trainees in psychology, socialwork, sociology, nursing, and the basic sciences.We believe we have an outstanding departmentpoised to be an agent for change in auspicioustimes for the future of psychiatry. You could be animportant part of our future. We invite you to lookthrough this brochure and to visit our program, ourfaculty and our department.Warmest regardsJoseph FlahertyProfessor and Head3

HISTORY: Three Institutes Integrated into One DepartmentThe Neuropsychiatric Institute, from its very inception in 1941, reflects in its very architecturethe close collaboration of mind / brain researchers: psychiatry is located in thesouth tower and neurology in the north tower.NEUROPSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTEEntrance to NPI, housing theResidency Training andEducation Office as well as residents’personal officesSince its opening in 1941, the Illinois Neuropsychiatric Institute(NPI) has fostered or given birth to exciting and importanttrends in psychiatry and neurology. Today, the NPI housesboth the Psychiatry and Neurology Residency Training Programs aswell as their outpatient clinics.Originally the institute was directed as a joint venture between theDepartments of Neurology and Psychiatry at the College ofMedicine, with neurology patients, offices, and labs located in thenorth tower, and psychiatry patients, offices, and labs in the southtower.Dr. Francis Gerty, the first chairman of the Department of Psychiatry,brought together an outstanding interdisciplinary group, which includedFranz Alexander, founder of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute;Frederick Gibbs, a pioneer in the description of temporal lobe epilepsywho discovered many electroencephalographic correlates ofbehavior in psychiatric patients; Percival Bailey, a neurosurgeon witha psychiatric background; W. S. McCullough, who developed computationalmodels of brain function; Ladislas von Meduna, the developerof metrazol convulsive shock therapy and other organic therapies for medical psychosis; and Abraham A. Low, whodeveloped the recovery method of self-help for recently discharged psychiatric patients. Several years ago Dr. Gerty, atage 99, in a videotaped interview, described the interdisciplinary ferment at NPI in its early years in a manner anticipatingthe present.In the 1960’s Dr. Melvin Sabshin, the second chairperson of the Department of Psychiatry, created a section of medicalpsychology and added anthropologists and sociologists to NPI to create a framework for a public and community psychi-4

atry department. The legacy of this era was a vigorousgrowth in the direction of social psychiatry.Under his aegis the department additionally built astrong psychoanalytical psychotherapy group.During the 1980’s, under the direction of Dr. LesterRudy, the department began a process of remedicalizationwith formation of many specializedprograms such as an Affective Disorders Clinic anda Comprehensive Care Clinic for schizophrenicpatients. A strong collaboration with basicresearchers at the Illinois State Psychiatric Institute(ISPI) was fostered.INSTITUTE FOR JUVENILE RESEARCHFounded in 1909, the Institute for JuvenileResearch (IJR) is the first and oldest child guidanceand research facility in the country. In 1990IJR was fully integrated into the department. Thatintegration has led to the development of an outstandingchild psychiatric clinical, educational, andresearch group within the department. Over thepast several years the Institute for JuvenileResearch has again developed pioneeringapproaches to dealing with major social andbehavioral problems that beset society, includingareas of high-risk behaviors in children and adolescents,aggressive and violent behaviors, andissues of child abuse. IJR will move to a modernnew facility in the fall of 2003.Institute for Juvenile Research in 1990. It is thefirst and oldest child guidance and research facilityin the country.THE PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTESince its founding in 1955 and the merger with UICin 1994, the Illinois State Psychiatric Institute (ISPI)trained over 600 psychiatry residents in an inpatientfacility that housed adult and child patients aswell as a renowned clinical research program.Themerger integrated the research and training activitiesinto the department in a collaborative programwith the Illinois Department of Mental Health andDevelopmental Disabilities and the Department ofPsychiatry at the University of Chicago. Severalmajor research groups have been recruited into thedepartment, including a world-class basic scienceresearch group under the leadership of Dr. ErminioCosta and an equally distinguished mental healthservices research group under the leadership ofDr. Judith Cook. A new collaborative program tostudy brain-body interactions is being conductedby Dr. Sue Carter and Dr. Stephen Porges.The excitement of the Neuropsychiatric Institute inthe 1940s is recreated by the integration of NPI,IJR, and the PI today.The Psychiatric Institute houses the basic scienceand clinical research laboratories as well as facultyand departmental administrative offices.5
