FOR A LIGHT LUNCH
A new sprig has grown from the
Oak Room in the West Campus
Union.
Located off the Faculty Dining
Room, The Sprig offers soup,
salad, breads and a beverage for
$1.95. It is open Monday through
Friday from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m.
"All admissions to the ward will
be voluntary," Melges said. "The
central goal of the unit will be to
create a therapeutic social
environment which will help
patients and their families work
together to resolve conflicts."
Melges, a 1957 graduate of
Princeton University, earned his
M.D. from Columbia University's
College of Physicians and Surgeons
in 1%1. After completing a medical
internship at the University of
Michigan in 1962, he served a
psychiatric residency at the
University of Rochester School of
Medicine.
Since 1967, he has been on the
faculty at Stanford University School
of Medicine. Santa Clara Valley
Medical Center is a Stanford
teaching hospital.
Among his research interests are
the mechanisms by which mental
illness affects time perception and
how modification of time perception
can be used to treat behavioral
disorders.
He also has conducted research on
psychiatric problems of women after
childbirth, drug models for mental
illness and therapies which
encourage disturbed patients to
choose positive future behavior
patterns to regain self control.
