NIMH during the tenure of Director Lewis L. Judd, M.D. (1987-1990): the decade of the brain and the four national research plans
Article Abstract:
Lewis L. Judd's term as Director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) from 1987 to 1990 was characterized by a relatively low government priority for mental health problems. Fortunately, this was offset by the maturation of psychiatric research combined with the rapid growth of the grass roots family advocacy movement, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. These two developments supported the NIHM's science mission under Judd.

NIMH during the tenure of Director Frederick K. Goodwin, M.D. (1992-1994): the return of NIMH to NIH and the fight for parity
Article Abstract:
Frederick K. Goodwin's term as Director of the National Institute of Mental Health from 1992 to 1994 was marked by the Institute's reunification with the National Institutes of Health. The reunion was driven by the belief that the 'separate but equal' concept was ineffective, and paved the way for the destigmatization of the Institute. Goodwin's tenure was also characterized by the significant growth of services research.
