Salerian knows how to build sound minds, and he eventually landed in the thick of world events. Several years ago, for example, he conducted psychological debriefings for FBI personnel involved in the Waco incident. He helped several agents deal with the emotional impact of that tragedy. Whether treating someone at society's highest or lowest level, Salerian finds common ground. This underlying belief inspired Salerian to pursue psychiatry after graduating from the University of Istanbul School of Medicine in 1971.
People are, in an incredible way, so very trusting.
More Than a Job That kind of clientele comes with respected standing. Salerian's research has appeared in the American Journal of Psychiatry and he's made over 200 presentations on psychiatric topics. Since December 1997, he has served as medical director of the outpatient clinic for the Psychiatric Institute of Washington. He was named chief resident at the GWU Medical Center in 1976. Human suffering is human suffering.
