2 Marianne Farkas, Sc.D. is currently the Co-Principal Investigator of the Research and Training Center and a Research Associate Professor in Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at Boston University. Farkas has authored and co-authored over 60 articles in professional journals, 4 textbooks, a dozen book chapters and 6 multi-media training packages. For more than 30 years, Farkas has worked in various capacities in the field of psychiatric rehabilitation, and recovery that have enabled her to promote the use of effective strategies to diverse target populations around the globe. She is currently the Vice President of the World Association of Psychosocial Rehabilitation (WAPR) and the President of the National Association of Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers ( NARRTC). Among her many roles providing training, research and consultation, Farkas was in charge of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center in Psychiatric Rehabilitation, providing training, consultation and research expertise to the W.H.O network around the globe. She has served on a committee for the W.H.O to develop methods of categorizing evidence based and promising practices in the context of international literature. She has developed training, consultation and organizational change methodologies to support programs and systems in their efforts to adopt psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery innovations. Dr. Farkas was charged by NIMH with the task of helping the core disciplines develop curriculum for pre service programs in Nursing, Psychiatry, Psychology and Social Work. She has served on Training Committees and Committees on Serious Mental Illnesses in both APA s (i.e. American Psychological and American Psychiatric). She also currently heads an effort to create standards of evidence for disability research and a process for translating the research into practice tools across disability fields. She is currently on the editorial review board of journals ranging from Psychiatric Services, Community Mental Health Journal, Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal and Implementation Science. As an educator, Farkas received Boston University s Award of Merit in 1993 and the International Association of Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services John Beard Award in 1998 for her innovations in the field. In 2005 Farkas received both the Lifetime Achievement Award from the New York chapter of in recognition of...her outstanding contributions to the pre-eminence and practice of psychosocial rehabilitation as well as the National Commendation Award from the National Association of Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers for pioneering scientific advances that have helped transform research on mental health and rehabilitation systems and being at the forefront of a paradigm shift that has helped practitioners, families, and society, as a whole, to see capacity and potential in people who were once perceived to be beyond hope. Robert Paul Liberman, M.D., is Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry at the School of Medicine of the University of California at Los Angeles where he directs the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program. Dr. Liberman has put rehabilitation of the seriously mentally ill on the psychiatric map. Since the 1960 s at Harvard s Massachusetts Mental Health Center and the National Institute of Mental Health, he has developed, empirically validated and disseminated evidence-based treatments that have enabled persons with schizophrenia and other mental disabilities to recover and re-integrate into normal community life. He and his colleagues were the first to use social skills training, behavioral family therapy and cognitive remediation and to document their effectiveness in the treatment of schizophrenia. To overcome barriers to widespread adoption of psychosocial rehabilitation, Dr. Liberman s team of scientist-practitioners created a series of nine video-assisted modules, or curricula, for teaching social and independent living skills to the seriously mentally ill. The modules, such as Symptom Self-Management, Medication Self- Management, Community Re-Entry, Workplace Fundamentals, Basic Conversation Skills and Friendship & Intimacy have been translated into 23 languages and used throughout the world. For 27 years, Dr. Liberman directed the UCLA-Camarillo Clinical Research Unit at Camarillo State Hospital, the NIMH-supported Clinical Research Center for Schizophrenia & Psychiatric Rehabilitation and the Rehabilitation Medicine Service at the Los Angeles Veterans Healthcare System which is the largest Veterans hospital in the United States. Inspiration for his research has come from the thousands of patients he has treated at community mental health centers, state and university hospitals and private practice. Using a Vulnerability-Stress-Protective theory of mental illness, his interdisciplinary research team identified psychophysiological, neurocognitive, family and social factors that contribute to the causes, course and outcome of schizophrenia. Since 1968, he has been principal investigator for more than $30 million of research grants. He is the recipient of numerous honors and awards from the American Psychiatric Association, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the World Health Organization and various countries in Europe, Asia and South America. His latest book, Recovery from Disability, is a practical guide for clinicians who wish to engage their mentally ill patients on a journey to recovery. Information about this book is available at this conference. Most important for his productive career has been his wife Janet and his five children and four grandchildren who have taught him that there is no worse disease than having no one to love.
