Yale's current department of psychiatry was created by Dean Milton C. Winternitz in the 1920s as part of a broader effort to combine mental and physical components of medical care. This effort, which spurred the founding of Yale's institute of Human Relations, was the basis of Winternitz' interest in mental health. Although the institute soon closed because of interdisciplinary squabbling, this brief chapter in Yale's history illustrates the progressive thinking of the Dean and the pre-War place of psychiatry in medicine.
耶鲁大学目前的精神病学系是由院长米尔顿·C·温特尼茨在20世纪20年代创建的,作为将医疗保健的精神和身体组成部分相结合的更广泛努力的一部分。这项努力促成了耶鲁大学人际关系研究所的成立,是温特尼茨对心理健康感兴趣的基础。尽管该研究所很快因跨学科争吵而关闭,但耶鲁大学历史上的这一短暂篇章体现了院长的进步思想以及战前精神病学在医学中的地位。
