A Full Life Of Honors, Writing, and Patient Care
We were saddened when Dr. Joel Yager, founder and former Editor-in-Chief of Eating Disorders Review, passed away shortly before Christmas. Joel was most recently Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver, teaching and treating patients as a staff psychiatrist and private patients as well with University Physicians, Inc.
It is nearly impossible to include the huge legacy Joel left. He was the author or coauthor of hundreds of articles and numerous books on eating disorders, including Special Problems in Managing Eating Disorders (with Advisory Board member Dr. Pauline Powers). He received so many awards that it would take more than one issue to list them all. One honor was a Lifetime Award from the National Eating Disorders Association in 2008.
Joel started EDR while he was Associate Chairman for Education in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Science at UCLA School of Medicine. He was Editor-Chief for 24 years, as it moved online from a purely print edition, and also continued to contribute articles to the newsletter. Readers may remember his recent thoughtful article with Jennifer Gaudiani on managing patients with terminal anorexia nervosa.
Joel was a unique teacher, mentor, author, and friend to so many, and we miss him greatly.—MKS
Desde el otro lado del escritorio
Una vida llena de honores, escritura y atención al paciente
Nos ha entristecido la muerte del Dr. Joel Yager, fundador y antiguo editor jefe de Eating Disorders Review, poco antes de Navidad.
Joel fue recientemente profesor emérito de Psiquiatría en la University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver, enseñando y tratando a pacientes como psiquiatra de planta y también a pacientes privados en University Physicians, Inc.
Es casi imposible incluir el enorme legado que dejó Joel. Fue autor o coautor de cientos de artículos y numerosos libros sobre trastornos alimentarios, entre ellos Special Problems in Managing Eating Disorders (con la Dra. Pauline Powers, miembro del Consejo Asesor) Recibió tantos premios que haría falta más de un número para enumerarlos todos. Uno de los honores fue un premio a toda una vida de la National Eating Disorders Association en 2008.
Joel comenzó el EDR mientras era Associate Chairman for Education en el Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Science en la UCLA School of Medicine. Fue editor jefe durante 24 años, cuando pasó de ser una edición exclusivamente impresa a estar disponible en línea, además de que siguió contribuyendo con artículos al Newsletter. Los lectores recordarán su reciente y reflexivo artículo con Jennifer Gaudiani sobre el tratamiento de pacientes con anorexia nervosa terminal.
Joel fue un profesor, mentor, autor y amigo único para muchos, y lo extrañamos mucho.—MKS
