Newsletter Hilton Avenue Herpetead. New York 230 Deer Hairy: It was I regret indeed a pleasure to receive your letter and very nmch if I new: missed any copies of the Newsletter. My address is: Missouri Institute of Psychiatry SHOO Arsenal Street St. Louis, Missouri 63139 It has been two years since I left Nassau oomty, and only recently have the burdens of ackninistration lightened sufficiently to permit 1m the lmmries of looking abmt and entertaining individual research. I was given 100 .000 square feet of space in a nw building, a small budget, and the total support of the division director. With this. to establish a major research and training center in the sickest. wring these two years, the staff has so that no»: we have nine scientists. menty technical personnel and a staff of eighty to care for a patient population of me~hmdred meaty in our own wards. The State budgets. inadequate as they were at the beginning, he hoped W have been supplemented by Public Health service funds so that the Institution is now functiming on an armual basis of a half million dollars. Host inportant, we have begun to make observations which Hy associated and I think sufficiently iwortant to present to national and international meetings. It has been an exciting two years, and many of the things which I wanted at Hillside I have been able to obtain here. We have our patient populations, and the privilege of emitting patients from mywhere in the State. The wm are new. aimditioned and the room are spacious. We have no problem of over—crowding, since adnissim is by �w'v -2- November 1+, 196*! Dr. Henry Bechstein seized/nu invitation only. Since adaiesien, we have established laboratories in electroencephalography, experimental neurophysiology, pharmacolcy and experimental psychology. have our own canputer center and medical library. Under construction is an animal facility, and this unit has received support from the Federal Govemsent. With luck. it, will be available on March 1, 1965. We There have been sane pmblens in the relationship and the local Universities. The Ween the Institute Institute is the Depatment of Psychiatry of the University of Missouri in St. Louis, effective this moth. The University has a medical school in Colmxbie, which is in the center of the state. The Ctmators contemplate the develOpment of a new medical school in St. Louis by the end of this chcade,and are already planning various departRents. This Institute is now the first department of the new medical school. When I came to St. Louis, I found no problem in the relation between clinical psychology and psychiatry. Clinical psychologists, with rare exception, are affiliated with the Universities and if they promise, do so either in conjunction with psychiatrists or to a limited extent. Only in the last six mmths has the problem been raised when the Missouri Psychological Association has broedued the possibility of certification for psychologists in this state. The city of St. Louis has two medical schools and in addition there is a psychoanalytic foundation. This is unaffiliated with either school but provides some teaching for the students of both. It is a small group and does not carry the weigh: or force, that similar bodice do in New York. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why cline ice]. psychology has not established a msj or foothold.. If my I agree with you that Nassau needs a medical school. figures are correct, Nassau cmmty has almost two million inhabitants. Missowi, with four million has three medical schools and there are two on the planning board. I recently visited the mdical school in New Mexico, and their school services a state with a populatim less than half of Nassau county. If the politicians in Albany and inthecomtywouldccme toagme, Ithink itwouldbevery inportant to have a medical school in Nassau. and in Suffolk �mm»: "7er w...-m_n.. ~3~ November u, 196% Dr. Henry Pedastein These would do mm, perhaps, than mother school in Mmhattan Island.
