约翰·格拉泽（John Glazer）

临床经验在我的第三和第四年啊f medical school in adult medicine, surgery, obstetrics & gynecology, and pediatrics made clear that my sense of professional identity and commitment resided in the care of children and families, making pediatrics a clear choice for residency training. It was during pediatric internship that a visionary program linking pediatric interns to psychiatric social workers in the care of children with cancer awakened what was to become an abiding passion in clinical work at the interface of pediatrics and pychiatry. My professional trajectory was set: Residency training in child and adolescent psychiatry following that in pediatrics, and a career as a child psychiatrist serving the mental and behavioral health needs of children hospitalized with serious medical illness, and those in psychiatric crisis served by pediatric emergency departments and inpatient programs.

作为一名受过儿科和儿童和青少年精神病学培训的医师，我的临床和学术兴趣都集中在它们之间的界面上，尤其是在解决常见的误解时，即思想和身体本质上是通过不同的机制分离的。西方医学的这一困境至少可以追溯到16世纪法国哲学家笛卡尔的“思维/身体二元论”的概念，这对医生的思考和治疗方式具有深远的影响，以及哪些现代神经科学已被证明是无效的。作为临床医生，我看到许多患有慢性疼痛和其他“躯体”症状的儿童和青少年无法解释或未通过“医学”疾病解释。这样的孩子通常需要在儿科医学和儿科心理学方面具有专业知识的临床医生，以充分理解它们并减轻症状。我的奖学金反映了这种重点是阐明在理论和临床水平上“思维”和“身体”相互作用的复杂方式。例如，我写了有关儿童癌症心理方面的教科书章节。
