ISAPP mourns Mike Kaologerakis, Past President
We note with sadness the passing of our colleague and dear friend, Dr. Michael G. Kalogerakis, Past-President of the American Society of Adolescent Psychiatry and the International Society for Psychiatry and Psychology. He was also Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine, the former Director of Adolescent Services at Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, and the former Associate Commissioner for Children and Youth, New York State Office of Mental Health. He served as a Board member for 25 years for the Citizen's Committee for Children of New York, the oldest child advocacy organization in the U.S., and was President of the Kenworthy-Swift Foundation. Michael had an influence on many through his work in the community, teaching, writing, and clinical work. Our organizations benefited immeasurably from his wise leadership. The field of adolescent psychiatry is richer because of his many contributions to the scientific literature, as well as his teaching. We extend sincere condolences to his bereaved family.
Dr. Joseph Kenan, President, ASAP, Dr. Patricia Garel, President, ISAPP
