ddison M. Duval, M.D.

T HAT religion and psychiatry do have much in common and can work together for the good of others is personified in the life and

work of Addison M. Duval. An active layman in the Episcopal Church, Dr. Duval has had a distinguished career in psychiatry marked by a sincere concern to promote better mental health in the community as well as to provide the best of care for those who became mentally ilk As o .e of the recognized leaders of American psychiatry, he is among those who are guiding and implementing the development of community mex~tal health centers. He advocates that mental health be an integral part of a general community health program.

Born in Orange County in Virginia, Dr. Duval received his M.D. degree from the Medical College of Virginia in 1929, and then began an internship and residency at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.

From 1959 to 1961, he was Director of the Division of Mental Diseases of the State of Missouri and did much to promote public interest in, and support for, the mental health program in that state.

appointed Clinical Professor of Psychi- atry at Emory University Medical School in Atlanta, Georgia, a position he still holds. He is a diplomate of the Ameri- can Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

A fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, he is now Vice-President of the Association. He is also Chairman of the Program Area Committee on Com- munity Mental Health and Mental Re- tardation of the American Protestant Hospital Association.

As Assistant Superintendent of Saint Elizabeths Hospital, Dr. Dural was ac- tive in promoting the clinical pastoral t ra ining program initiated by Chaplain Bruder in 1944. He was also active in organizing and promoting neighborhood clinics in Washington. He received the Distinguished Service Award of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and the Meritorious Award for Community Service from both the Dis- trict of Columbia Governmen, t and the District of Columbia Medical Society. He is the author of more than forty pub- lications on mental health topics.

It is most fitting that we honor Dr. Dural as Man of the Month in the "men-

65

tal health issue" of PASTORAL PSYCHOL- OGY. We do this not only in tribute to the great services he has already rend- ered, but also because of the new areas of service he is exploring as Director of the Division of Mental Health in Georgia. He is now engaged in develop- ing facilities for treatment of mental ill- ness which will be a part of a "com- munity health center." Instead of sepa- rate community mental health centers, mental illness will be one of the prob- lems which will be the concern of all ~he public health resources of the state. One of the hoped for results is that people will gain a more realistic perspec- tive and come to see mental disorder as an illness for which effective medical help is available. This should do much to lessen the stigma now associated with mental illness. Dr. Duval has also al- ready taken steps to strengthen the chap- laincy program in the existing mental hospital facilities in Georgia and to ex- pand the facilities for clinical pastoral training in that state. He 'has long advo- cated that clinically trained clergymen be a part of the total treatment team.

Dr. Dural has been active over the years in the struggle both to clarify and raise standards for effective clinical work. (He was for many years the chair- man of the American Psychiatric As- sociation's Committee on Standards.) We can expect continued leadership from him in the effort to achieve great- er clarity about the meaning and place of clinical pastoral training in our men- tal hospitals and mental health centers.

In the article by Dr. Duval in this issue, there is a challenge and a call to action. As is characteristic of him, Dr. Duval is frank and direct. The church and its pastors are criticized. But it should be noted that it is criticism from an intelligent, informed, and concerned person within the church, and if it is tak-

en seriously it must inevitably strengthen the church for the tasks ahead. We are greatly indebted to Dr. Dural for shar. ing with us his thinking in this paper, which can do much to strengthen the role of the minister in his distinctive contributions to the mental health team.

with women, and v~hatever the remote causes in his background that might have contributed to them, of which I know nothing, they never diminished his dedication to the field in which he had pioneered. He was in the very midst of editing the Prentice-Hall series on "Suc- cessful Pastoral Counseling" at the time of his death.

When the first volumes in this series appeared a year or two ago, and were reviewed in this journal in Oct. 1963, the reviewer, while not unappreciative, felt that Dicks had set his sights on min- isters at too low a level. Dicks, in a let- ter (see Readers' Forum, Dec. 1963) gave a spirited rejoinder. Many ministers even today, he argued, need material they can get hold of quickly. He may have been right. Recent sales by the Pastoral Psychology Book Club suggest that he may be. Some of the books in his series have made new records for us.

This, the time of sorrow and grieving, is not the time to bring together the critical and objective evaluation of either Dicks's writings or of his other contri- butions to pastoral psychology. In good time, that should be done; and I am confident that his work as a pioneer will stand firm in the face of even the most critical appraisal. For now we can say, and with utmost gratitude, that we would be without our whole modern movement ---had we not had Russell Dicks.
