We are pleased to welcome John Rubenstein, MD, PhD to the University of Pittsburgh as our special guest to present the Irene Jakab Lecture this year. 

We hope you will join us on October 12, 2020 to celebrate the work of our talented investigators and robust research community at the Department of Psychiatry Research Matinee. This special virtual event will replace the 2020 Research Day. The program features presentations by some of our outstanding research faculty representing a wide range of research initiatives.

Mark your calendars for October 16, 2020 and join us for a special Clinical Grand Rounds focusing on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy featuring Dr. Stephanie Stepp, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

The Pitt Psychiatry Meet the PI lecture series continues on October 23rd when we will feature the research of Dean Salisbury, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry, 
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. 

Join us for our next Clinical Grand Rounds featuring Dr. Jack Rozel, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Adjunct Professor of Law, and Director of resolve Crisis Services. In July, 2020, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court handed down a ruling in the Maas v. UPMC case.  In this case, a patient murdered a woman who lived five doors down a hallway from him after making a series of vague threats – including, at one point, “a neighbor” – but never identifying a target in any way.

The Department of Psychiatry is honored to welcome George Koob, MD, PhD, Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, as our speaker on November 6th as part of our Distinguished Science Lecture series.
