Our guest is optimistic.  Paul McHugh, MD, is one of the most important figures in academic psychiatry of the last 30 years.  He is University Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine where he was department chairman from 1975 until 2001.  He is the author or co-author of several academic books and texts of psychiatry.
