Excerpt from Annual Report, Mental Health Intramural Research Program Division of Clinical and Behavioral Research, Division of Biological and Biochemical Research, and Division of Special Mental Health Research, Vol. 1: October 1, 1981 September 30, 1982, Summary StatementsMy gratitude goes out to the lab chiefs and other senior staff members who helped me through this challenging period. I am particularly indebted to John Eberhart, whose 20 - year legacy as Director serves me daily as a model of stable and wise leadership. Also to Dr. Bob Cohen, who as Deputy Director displayed a special feel for the complex clinical side of the program. John Eberhart left the Institute last year to become a special advisor to the nih Director. Bob Cohen, who filled in as Director during the interim, is now Director of Psychotherapy at Chestnut Lodge. In ad dition to a vigorously flourishing program, John and Bob left me a precious legacy the respect and affection of the nih Community. Although awed by the task, I am committed to sustaining and nourishing their legacy.A towering presence providing vital continuity during the transition was Hazel Rea, the best administrator I have experienced in my l8 years in the Government Profoundly dedicated to irp, she knows its people and its substance in51de and out. This ih-depth knowledge, combined with incredibly good judgment about people, gives her the capacity to deal with them firmly but with respect and sensitivity. As close to indispensable as anyone could be, she deserves singular credit for the successful transition.In a different, but equally important way, Drs. Irv Kopin and Ed Evarts made an indispensable contribution to the success of this transition year. In essence, Irv, Ed, Hazel and I functioned as a leadership team with all major program decisions flowing out of a vigorous and rewarding conjoint process. To this process Ed and Irv brought their accumulated wisdom about the nature of science, their deep affection for, and commitment to this scientific enterprise and its people would be difficult to overstate.I have learned and continue to learn a great deal from them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
