About
Lee Crandall Park, M.D.
This summary has been revised to be more of a “memoir” now that I am 98 years old. I am Associate Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I am a Life Fellow AAAS and Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. I was active in psychiatric practice and research for over 55 years, and since retiring in 2015 at the age of 89 I have had more time to read the research literature as well as to organize and reread years of notes that are relevant to the following Monograph on Borderline Personality Disorder.
I began experiencing Dyslexia at an early age, completing elementary education at a local public school with only a C average. My son, Thomas, is also dyslexic, and we both have had to make extra efforts to succeed scholastically and professionally. (Quite paradoxically, my other son, Jeffrey, is an excellent linguist.) I was fortunate to be accepted by the Putney Preparatory School beginning in the 9th grade, and following this wonderful educational experience I graduated from Yale University in 1948 with a B.S. in Zoology and from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1952. I was an Osler Intern in Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital 1952-53, at a time when antipsychotic and other drugs for mental illness were soon to become generally available. Following internship, I was called into the Navy for two years. Due to a clerical error, I was incorrectly assigned to be a staff psychiatrist at the Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in Oakland, California. This was the receiving hospital for Korean War Naval and Marine casualties, including mental breakdowns, and there was a shortage of psychiatrists there. Therefore I was not reassigned but remained on the staff as a “resident in training” although there was no such program. I was actually working as a regular psychiatrist with the option for advice and support. After a few months I was transferred to Korea to be a regimental surgeon in the First Marine Division Expeditionary Force as the Korean War was coming to a close. Shortly thereafter the Division Psychiatrist became ill and I was then assigned to that position. This was a high stress situation in which there were about 30,000 battle-hardened warriors, with myself being the “psychiatrist” who had almost no formal education or training in mental illness and psychotherapy. I was on my own, with a “psychologist” having a BA degree as my assistant, along with a friendly Marine Captain who had some experience in counseling troubled and sometimes quite disturbed men. I introduced myself to patients in uniform as a pleasant, steady and confident medical officer and psychiatrist who had all the time in the world to get to know another person. I made clear that I wanted to engage personally and seriously in learning about and helping to resolve what had been happening, what might be troubling them, and any other concerns or life experiences they might wish to talk about. To my great surprise I was quite successful in this endeavor, including dealing with crisis situations that involved psychotic and dangerous patients, and I subsequently received a Letter of Appreciation for “Outstanding Performance of Duty” from the Commanding Officer.
This very positive experience in the field of mental illness and its treatment led to my completing a residency at Johns Hopkins Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences after leaving the Navy. Despite the prior involvement in evaluating and treating Marines in acute life situations, I felt very much a neophyte when I began my residency, largely because I was intimidated by the formal psychiatry guidelines and the somewhat esoteric teachings of psychoanalysis. I also engaged in a psychoanalysis with Sarah Tower, which was beneficial, but some of the learning experiences and confidence that I had gained in Korea temporarily faded away. I did not understand until much later that in Korea I had been experiencing the essence of successful psychotherapy for almost all of my patients as the nature and characteristics of the interpersonal engagement, and that this can be successful even in the absence of the specific guidelines and procedures of various psychotherapies.
Following residency, I became a full-time faculty member at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. I began working in the psychiatry outpatient program at the hospital, and subsequently I was also placed in charge of mental health counseling for both students and faculty at the George Wilson Shaffer Student Health Service on the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University. I was initially quite uneasy when engaging with faculty members, most of them brilliant academics, until I gradually learned that one’s Social Intelligence talent for understanding self and one’s others can be quite independent from other talents. A high IQ could lead to more complex stories, but the underlying ToM difficulties did not differ in significant ways from those of the Marines seen in Korea. Beginning in 1959 I became involved in researching psychiatric drugs in a collaborative program with the NIMH Psychopharmacology Service Center headed by Jonathan Cole, who subsequently became Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard. Our research had to do largely with examining the effects of the doctor’s verbal and emotional communications in addition to drug effects. I also carried out, jointly with Lino Covi, the “Nonblind Placebo Trial” published in Archives of General Psychiatry in 1965, in which 15 new outpatients with psychoneuroses were clearly informed that capsules prescribed for them contained no medicine at all. They were advised that these pills should be taken regularly, three times a day at meals, and they were told that many people with their kind of condition had been helped by such pills (which was true). Each of these patients was provided with a lengthy, quite positive initial evaluation with the prescribing doctor. Fourteen patients willingly entered this brief trial and all but one reported significant improvement, demonstrating that patients can be willing to take placebos and can improve despite disclosure of their inert content. (The patient who did not improve was also feeling better until her husband ridiculed her for taking “sugar pills”.) This was the first reported study ever that revealed to the patient that pills prescribed had no active content, and it had required a special review by the Chairman and other members of the Department prior to proceeding. The result is in alignment with my belief and experience that the development of a genuine, positive, and appropriately personal engagement, of necessary duration, is an essential characteristic of successful treatment for most or almost all patients with mental illness, and often can be more important than the specifics of the diverse treatment concepts and theories themselves. This study was reported in numerous newspapers in the US and other countries.
My thinking about the sources, nature and treatments of mental illness has evolved over the course of the many years that I have been a psychiatrist, during which I have been influenced by differing schools of thought, including particularly Meyerian (Adolf Meyer), Psychoanalysis, DBT, and the current Medical Model. This varied history, along with my experiences in Korea, has helped in thinking outside of the box. For a time I was Director of Psychiatric Outpatient and Community Services at Johns Hopkins Hospital, but by then I was becoming disappointed with the increasingly narrow theoretical and research focus on finding inborn neurobiological flaws that could lead to mental illness, along with the decreasing interest in examining the nature of the childhood/adolescent developmental social experiences as likely critical to the proper development and workings of the mind. As I gradually moved into part-time and then full-time private practice I developed a strong interest in Personality Disorders, particularly Borderline and Narcissistic Disorders. I have had the opportunity to treat and then follow several borderline patients for up to 40 years, providing a rather special experience. In 1992 we reported a study of BPD that focused on histories of childhood psychological abuse and the evidence of enhanced social perceptivity. Co-authors included John B. Imboden M.D. past Director of the Psychiatric Inpatient Service at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Thomas J. Park Ph.D., currently Professor of Neuroscience and Associate Department Head of Biological Sciences at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and Stewart H. Hulse Ph.D., Chair of the Psychology Department at Johns Hopkins University. In 1997 Thomas Park and I also co-authored a book chapter on “Personal Intelligence” and its likely involvement in BPD. We have now co-authored a monograph, “A New Model for Understanding and Treating Borderline Personality Disorder”.
In completing this monograph as a “memoir” of a long professional life, I am thinking of the words of Horace Mann: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.”

NEW MONOGRAPH!
A New Model for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder, Revised Edition


A Theory of Mind Developmental Model (TOMDM) for Understanding and Treating Borderline Personality Disorder
Individuals with BPD are neurobiologically normal at birth, and are usually endowed with an enhanced yet very developmentally vulnerable potential for understanding self and others.
Developmental psychological adversity is the full source of the disorder. Necessary modifications to current treatment models will resolve their current failure to provide either a positive sense of self or successful intimacy with others.
