Abstract

“I have three specific aims: firstly, to review some of the concepts supporting contemporary American (USA) Psychiatry; secondly, to explain the origins, strengths and frailties of these particular foundations; and thirdly, to provide examples of activity in the Department of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine that intends to both revise and restructure these foundations in ways that enhance teaching, practice, and research.”
