clinical research at the Pratt Hospital in Maryland (1923–30), pursuing his
interest in the use of psychotherapy to treat schizophrenia, which he viewed as
stemming from disturbed interpersonal relationships in early childhood. He
asserted that psychiatric symptoms arise out of conflicts between the individual
and his human environment and that personality development likewise stems from a
series of interactions with other people. He helped establish the William
Alanson White Psychiatric Foundation (1933) and the Washington School of
Psychiatry (1936) , and he also founded (1938) and served as editor of the
journal Psychiatry. (Psychiatry)
