Award Lecture Explores Recovery in Schizophrenia
Initially interested in the pharmacological treatment of patients with
schizophrenia, leading researcher Stephen Marder, M.D., is now focusing on how
schizophrenia patients can be maintained in the community.
Stephen Marder, M.D., is the 2004 recipient of the American Psychiatric
Foundation's Alexander Gralnick, M.D., Award for Research in Schizophrenia. He
will present the lecture "Recovery in Schizophrenia" in connection
with that award on October 9 at APA's 2004 Institute on Psychiatric
Services.
Marder is the director of the Mental Illness Research, Education, and
Clinical Center and chair of psychiatry at the VA Greater Los Angeles
Healthcare System in California. In addition, he is professor and vice chair
of the department of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the University
of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine. He is the author or co-author
of approximately 200 journal articles and chapters based on research for major
medical and psychiatric
publications.
This award was established by the Gralnick Foundation to further research
on a disease in which Gralnick had a career-long professional interest. He was
the founder of the High Point Hospital in Rye Brook, N.Y., where he served as
director until 1991 and psychiatrist in chief until his death in 1993.
The lecture will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. All attendees are invited
to the reception that will follow immediately afterward to meet and talk
informally with Marder.
