LETTER FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEAD Perhaps most important to the residency applicant is the strong future of our department at UIC. In addition to our greatest strengths -- students and faculty -- we have solid support from the College of Medicine and the University. We have just completed major renovation of our Neuropsychiatric Institute and development of state-of-the-art biological laboratories at our Psychiatric Institute. A new building for the Institute for Juvenile Research will open in the fall. A new Magnetic Resonance Imaging Center is under construction. We have strong partnerships with key private and public agencies for our research, educational and clinical programs. With these vital partnerships, we are determined to make a difference: to discover new knowledge and treatments to help mentally ill patients, reduce family suffering and disintegration, and improve the social fabric of communities.

short 20 years ago the most important criterion in selecting a residency program was the school of thought that prevailed there. But back then, psychiatry was considered "soft" or a pseudoscience. Today, it is critical to choose a program founded on sound scientific footing. Your future ability to assess, diagnose and treat patients must be informed by the latest data, which requires the capacity to analyze data and base your treatment on the best evidence. This can only occur where faculty are involved simultaneously in cutting-edge research as well as patient care.

Training and educating the next generation is a mission the UIC faculty takes quite seriously. We take pride in the accomplishments of our residents in the program and after they graduate. And while our central mission is to train psychiatrists, their education will be enhanced by working and learning alongside other trainees in psychology, social work, sociology, nursing, and the basic sciences. We believe we have an outstanding department poised to be an agent for change in auspicious times for the future of psychiatry. You could be an important part of our future. We invite you to look through this brochure and to visit our program, our faculty and our department.

Psychiatry at UIC has strong historical roots in the development of psychosomatic theory, in sociological and psychological work on delinquency, and in early work on biological treatments for depression and schizophrenia.

Warmest regards

We have grown from those roots, integrating basic science and clinical research with patient care while developing large data sets to guide treatment and to inform public policy. A sampling of our current efforts includes basic research into genetic and environmental influences in schizophrenia - in fact, UIC is home to the country's longest running study of schizophrenia. Other projects include a longitudinal study of preteens, looking for patterns in the development of drug use and conduct disorders, and testing interventions that may prevent violence, substance abuse and HIV. We are also developing important programs exploring the biomechanisms underlying psychosis and stem cell transplantation as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. We are developing exciting new programs in developmental psychobiology, functional magnetic resonance imaging and early- onset bipolar disorder.

HISTORY: Three Institutes Integrated into One Department

The Neuropsychiatric Institute, from its very inception in 1941, reflects in its very architecture the close collaboration of mind / brain researchers: psychiatry is located in the south tower and neurology in the north tower.

NEUROPSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE

S

ince its opening in 1941, the Illinois Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) has fostered or given birth to exciting and important trends in psychiatry and neurology. Today, the NPI houses both the Psychiatry and Neurology Residency Training Programs as well as their outpatient clinics. Originally the institute was directed as a joint venture between the Departments of Neurology and Psychiatry at the College of Medicine, with neurology patients, offices, and labs located in the north tower, and psychiatry patients, offices, and labs in the south tower.

Dr. Francis Gerty, the first chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, brought together an outstanding interdisciplinary group, which includEntrance to NPI, housing the ed Franz Alexander, founder of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute; Residency Training and Frederick Gibbs, a pioneer in the description of temporal lobe epilepEducation Office as well as resisy who discovered many electroencephalographic correlates of dents’ personal offices behavior in psychiatric patients; Percival Bailey, a neurosurgeon with a psychiatric background; W. S. McCullough, who developed computational models of brain function; Ladislas von Meduna, the developer of metrazol convulsive shock therapy and other organic therapies for medical psychosis; and Abraham A. Low, who developed the recovery method of self-help for recently discharged psychiatric patients. Several years ago Dr. Gerty, at age 99, in a videotaped interview, described the interdisciplinary ferment at NPI in its early years in a manner anticipating the present. In the 1960’s Dr. Melvin Sabshin, the second chairperson of the Department of Psychiatry, created a section of medical psychology and added anthropologists and sociologists to NPI to create a framework for a public and community psychi-

atry department. The legacy of this era was a vigorous growth in the direction of social psychiatry. Under his aegis the department additionally built a strong psychoanalytical psychotherapy group. During the 1980’s, under the direction of Dr. Lester Rudy, the department began a process of remedicalization with formation of many specialized programs such as an Affective Disorders Clinic and a Comprehensive Care Clinic for schizophrenic patients. A strong collaboration with basic researchers at the Illinois State Psychiatric Institute (ISPI) was fostered.

INSTITUTE FOR JUVENILE RESEARCH Founded in 1909, the Institute for Juvenile Research (IJR) is the first and oldest child guidance and research facility in the country. In 1990 IJR was fully integrated into the department. That integration has led to the development of an outstanding child psychiatric clinical, educational, and research group within the department. Over the past several years the Institute for Juvenile Research has again developed pioneering approaches to dealing with major social and behavioral problems that beset society, including areas of high-risk behaviors in children and adolescents, aggressive and violent behaviors, and issues of child abuse. IJR will move to a modern new facility in the fall of 2003.

Institute for Juvenile Research in 1990. It is the first and oldest child guidance and research facility in the country.

THE PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE Since its founding in 1955 and the merger with UIC in 1994, the Illinois State Psychiatric Institute (ISPI) trained over 600 psychiatry residents in an inpatient facility that housed adult and child patients as well as a renowned clinical research program.The merger integrated the research and training activities into the department in a collaborative program with the Illinois Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Chicago. Several major research groups have been recruited into the department, including a world-class basic science research group under the leadership of Dr. Erminio Costa and an equally distinguished mental health services research group under the leadership of Dr. Judith Cook. A new collaborative program to study brain-body interactions is being conducted by Dr. Sue Carter and Dr. Stephen Porges. The excitement of the Neuropsychiatric Institute in the 1940s is recreated by the integration of NPI, IJR, and the PI today.

The Psychiatric Institute houses the basic science and clinical research laboratories as well as faculty and departmental administrative offices.

THE NEUROPSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE (NPI)

INSTITUTE

The Neuropsychiatric Institute is the flagship site of the UIC Department of Psychiatry, an integral department in the 100-year-old UIC College of Medicine. The institute has achieved a national reputation for its excellence in academic psychiatry. One of the state's first psychiatric residency programs was created here in 1946. We have educated and trained leaders in psychiatry locally and nationally. Psychiatric outpatient services and faculty and residents’ offices are in the NPI building.

FOR

JUVENILE RESEARCH (IJR)

The Institute for Juvenile Research, established in 1909, constitutes the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for the Department of Psychiatry at UIC. In addition to its important role in the training of medical students and general psychiatry residents, IJR also offers child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship programs. Individual therapy with children and adolescents, family therapy, and marital therapy allows for training in a variety of treatment modalities. IJR provides comprehensive service to the community through direct clinical service to area residents, consultation to schools and neighborhood agencies, and its active research program emphasizing the biological and psychosocial correlates of dysfunctional behavior.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO HOSPITAL INPATIENT UNIT The Psychiatry Inpatient units are located across the street from the NPI in the University of Illinois at Chicago Hospital. The inpatient units consist of a 20 bed general psychiatric unit, a 15-bed research unit, and a 9-bed adolescent unit dedicated to wards of Cook County. Patients are admitted based on severity of illness and need for psychiatric interventions on an inpatient basis. Suitability for our specialty services (women’s mental health, neuropsychiatry, or research) are also determining factors.

JOHN J. MADDEN MENTAL HEALTH CENTER Madden MHC is located next to the campus of Loyola University Medical Center and the Hines Veterans Administration Hospital in Maywood, a western suburb of Chicago. As part of the statewide network of care provided by private and public mental health services, Madden MHC maintains
