HOUSTON, TX—(July 8, 2008)

The Menninger Clinic has named Edythe Harvey, MD, as the medical director for the Hope Adult Program. The Hope Program serves adults with long-standing mood, anxiety and personality disorders, coexisting with addictions or other conditions. As the program’s medical director, Dr. Harvey will lead the interdisciplinary treatment team and continue to provide individual and group therapy.

Before coming to Menninger as a staff psychiatrist in 2006, Dr. Harvey was medical director of the psychiatric emergency center at Ben Taub Hospital. She is a member of several psychiatric associations, has spoken at numerous international and national conferences and was selected as a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association in 2008.

“I’m excited about my new position with Menninger,” said Dr. Harvey. “Hope has a great staff and the patients are wonderful. I am also looking forward to helping with the transition from our current location to the new facility in 2010.”

The Menninger Clinic is in the midst of a capital campaign to build the first international epicenter for mental health.
