Teaching Philosophy
Since its inception nearly 70 years ago, the Department of Psychiatry has worked to educate medical students, graduate physicians and students from other health disciplines in the field of psychiatry, human behavior and development. Our goals today are built on the ones from 1923; to teach basic knowledge in the theory and clinical practice of psychiatry in a biopsychological model; to promote the physician's development of skills in the various forms of treatment from psychopharmacological to intensive insight-oriented psychotherapy; to learn to understand and deal with human behavior individually, in the family, in groups and in society; to teach an awareness of the psychosocial problems of our patients from the infant to the aged; to educate health professionals and the public about the interaction of mind and body; to promote the natural curiosity of our students about human behavior in normalcy and disease.
