description 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.

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.
