Karasu to Step Down as Department chair at Albert Einstein College
He has served as editor and associate editor for a number of journals, and is a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). He chaired the APA’s Commission on Psychiatric Therapies, which produced the critical, “The Psychiatric Therapies: Part I, The Somatic Therapies,” and “Part II, The Psychosocial Therapies,” and chaired another national task force comprised of over 400 scholars, researchers, and clinicians seeking to produce a seminal document on each psychiatric disorder.
This four-volume report, “Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders,” was praised as being: “... twenty-five years ahead of its time,” by Atlantic Monthly, and “the best psychiatric book ever,” by Contemporary Psychiatry.
Karasu also chaired the APA’s Task Force in producing the “Practice Guideline for Major Depressive Disorder in Adults.” He was elected as one of most influential Turkish-Americans by TurkofAmerica Magazine in 2014. A prolific author, his 21 books include “Psychotherapy for Depression,” “Deconstruction of Psychotherapy,” “The Art of Serenity,” “Of God and Madness,” “Gotham Chronicles: The Culture of Sociopathy,” “Maxims Minimus: Reflections in Microstyle,” and “Life Witness: Evolution of the Psychotherapist.”
Karasu will continue his academic and clinical activities in the department, and he also will remain Chairman of the Board of the University Behavioral Associates (UBA), a unique, capitation-based behavioral health management corporation he created.
