Yolles, FROM: Max SUBJECT: Fink, 1979 M.D. M.D. Proposal by N.S. Lehrman, M.D.: "Psychotherapy with a Recidivist Chronic Schizophrenic Population..." This is l. description of the characteristics of the an ambitious treatment program dedicated to a psychotherapeutic interaction in chronic, relapsing schizophrenic patients. The study is based on an uncontrolled, impressionistic study in which "More than 30 chronic, repeatedly admitted... patients have been receiving treatment in this fashion... since November 1978, with apparently excellent results so far...". Since neither the case description, the intervention, nor the outcome criteria are described, it is not possible to assess the success of this "intervention". If the therapy is so rapidly (November 1978 — May 1979) effective, it must be powerful indeed, and we are entitled to a better description. Specific questions that should he answered to allow a reasoned review are the “ following: selected. A ° 30 patients. ' . 2.

In the year that we worked together, I found him enthusiastic, dependable, and appreciative of the problems of the students. He worked well with us on the committee and facilitated my teaching. It is from his record that I have to assess his research clinical skills. It is clear that he has the academic training and interest, and his publication list and independence of research efforts and during the past year indicate that he has the basis for a research contributions of high quality and innovative creativity. fellow of the Department, I have found him and quiet.

Papakestos will complete his third year of residency has applied to me to join the LIRI research programs and I would be pleased to have him work with us, if we could generate the support necessary. Dr. Papakostos training in June. He In 1977, Dr. Asnis was a full time employee of the Division of Clinical Science. When he went to the V.A., he went as half-time LIRI and half—time VA. When he resigned in January, I recohmended that John Lee, then on 'soft money', be appointed to his half-line at LIRI. Dr. Lee will be appointed to 5/8 VA in order to take advantage of the rules that only employees at the VA who are 5/8 or more can apply for VA grants. That will occur in May/June and will leave 1/8 of a line free at LIRI. Whatever happened to the other half of Asnis' line ? it permanently 'lost' ? Is it possible to use that half a line plus the 1/8 from John Lee to create a 5/8 LIRI line, possibly for Dr. Papakostoa ? Is Two issues are at hand: the abailability of the 5/8 line and the possibility of appointing Dr. Papakostos to that line if available. �){1 £11in March 23. 1978 MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. S. F. Yolles mom Dr. Max Fink I am writing to recommend the appointment of Dr. Leon D. Hankoff to the Department of Psychiatry. at the rank appropriate to his experience. I have known Leon for two decades, primarily as an administrative physician who headed local hospital departments of psychiatry. Three ago, he consulted me with regard to the development of a study of theyears behavioral and EEG effects of benedialysis. A grant application was prepared but was not approved. In working through the details of the protocol, I came to respect ht! clinical experience and judgement, and his enthusiasm for research. He is skilled in the administration of a psychiatric clinical service, has an interest in clinical research and has supported research studies of members of his staff. He would be a valuable addition to our clinical service. He has served as a teacher at the various schools with which he has been affiliated—- Downstate Medical Center and New York Medical College, and has taught social work students. His skills as a teacher would be most useful. It is a pleasure to recommend his appointment to a senior position in the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science. bc �February 20, 1978 TO: S.F.
