Q. Where will the breakthroughs come in treating schizophrenia?

Jeffrey A. Lieberman, M.D.
Answer By: Jeffrey A. Lieberman, M.D.

Lawrence C. Kolb Professor and Chairman of Psychiatry, Columbia University, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons

Lieber Chair for Schizophrenia Research

Director, New York State Psychiatric Institute

Psychiatrist-in-Chief, New York Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia University Medical Center

Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons

“The single biggest thing that would aid research in mental illnesses and the practice of psychiatry is to have a diagnostic test for schizophrenia and other major mental illnesses … and I think we’re actually close to having that.”

Video from March, 2010 - filmed at the 7th Annual Palm Beach Symposium
