FACILITIES AND LIBRARY

Facilities

The Washington School of Psychiatry's main office, the Eugene Meyer III Treatment Center, and the Adele Lebowitz Center for Youth and Families are located at 5028 Wisconsin Avenue in Suites 400 and 405 (in the Friendship Heights neighborhood of the District of Columbia). The suites include administrative offices, classrooms of various sizes, a large conference room, a library, and therapy rooms appropriate for individual, couples, family, and group therapy. The building is within walking distance of the Metro Red Line (Friendship Heights, Jenifer St. exit) and is on main bus routes. Nearby parking is also available. The building and School facilities are fully handicapped accessible.

Library

The School's professional library contains an excellent collection of books and journals, as well as a collection of journals on CD-ROM. The book collection includes volumes donated by the School's founders, numerous large collections donated by faculty and members, and books donated or purchased specifically for the library. In recent years the library has been enhanced by collaboration with the Clinical Social Work Institute, resulting in a joint WSP/Clinical Social Work Institute Library. The library belongs to the local academic library consortium, as well as the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, making it possible for students and faculty to obtain materials from many different sources.

The library is available for use by current WSP students and treatment center clinicians, faculty, members and alumni of the school's training programs. It is open Monday-Saturday at hours set at the beginning of each semester. For further information and current hours, contact the WSP office at 202-237-2700. Please note that office staff is not able to check for specific items over the telephone.

The School's archives include personal and professional materials of Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as extensive documentation of the history of the William Alanson White Foundation and the Washington School of Psychiatry. Archives access is by appointment only; contact the School for further information.
