OHSU’s Dr. Kinzie visits campus Feb. 11

Dr. David Kinzie, a psychiatrist at Oregon Health and Science University, will speak at the Newberg campus at 12:45 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11, in the  Villa Academic Complex’s Room 117.

Kinzie founded the Intercultural Psychiatric Program and the Torture Treatment Center of Oregon. Founded in 1977, the center was the nation’s first psychiatric center for immigrants who escaped war and genocide. The clinic is one of the largest of its kind in the country, treating 1,200 people from around the world.

Lon Fendall (Center for Peace Studies/Center for Peace and Justice) invites anyone who has a interest in hearing how Kinzie helps people deal with their psychological trauma and how he has made a difference in the lives of so many.

The Center for Peace Studies and Graduate Department of Clinical Psychology are co-hosting Kinzie’s visit. The event begins with lunch at noon, followed by Kinzie’s presentation. There is no fee to attend.
