- W2000982565 abstract "Elizabeth Boghossian Weller, daughter of Marie and Hagop Boghossian from Armenia, died November 29, 2009. Elizabeth was an exceptional human being: intellectually gifted, endlessly committed to children, and families and always available to help a colleague or friend. She had a clear vision for the future of mental health for children, adolescents, and families; her life was fuelled by knowledge, scholarship, love for children and families, and an unwavering dedication to the field of child and adolescent psychiatry. The Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have lost a beloved and treasured leader; American child and adolescent psychiatry has lost a pioneer; and the world has lost a mentor, a passionate advocate, and an outspoken voice for children. Elizabeth served with distinction as Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, was the first chair of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and was the first woman to hold an endowed professorship in psychiatry. She received her undergraduate and medical degrees with honors from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, in 1971 and 1975, respectively. After completion of her internship in pediatrics, Elizabeth completed her residencies in psychiatry and child psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis and her fellowship in child psychiatry at the University of Kansas Medical Center, where she met her husband and lifelong companion, Ronald Weller. She went on to serve as the director of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Kansas Medical Center and director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The Ohio State University, before serving as the first chair of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and vice chair for the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. These accomplishments were only a few of the many that distinguished Elizabeth's long and illustrious career as an internationally recognized scholar in the area of mood and anxiety disorders in children, specifically bipolar disorder. She was a master clinician, educator, mentor, and humanitarian. Her administrative and academic achievements were formidable. She published more than 300 articles and chapters, edited textbooks, and developed a diagnostic interview for children and adolescents. Elizabeth held national leadership roles in organized psychiatry, serving as a past president for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and past president of the Society for Biological Psychiatry, to name a few. Elizabeth also held key positions in the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Association for Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training, the American College of Psychiatry, and others. She was an internationally recognized speaker and collaborator. In all the positions she held over her career, she instilled and inspired a search for excellence in all those around her. Elizabeth was similarly passionate about her Armenian roots. She loved Armenia and the Armenian people. She was committed to educating the world about the Armenian massacre and repairing historical differences by mentoring physicians and scientists from Armenia, Turkey and other parts of the world, in addition to advocating for the Armenian General Benevolent Union Armenia Orphan Fund and establishing a library for the medical sciences in Armenia. When earthquakes devastated Armenian cities, she was among the leading American scientists who helped mobilize the response to disaster. No passion, however, was greater for Elizabeth than that for her husband of 31 years, Ron Weller, and her children Christine and Andrew. They were ever present in all her activities and a driving force for her career. She served as a role model for how to balance a burdensome work schedule with her personal and family life. Her strong faith and spirituality shone through her actions. Most recently, Elizabeth struggled with breast cancer. She used even this experience to educate all about the devastating impact of this illness on women, families, and children and to reinforce the urgency to find a cure. She did not give up, but instead, moved full speed ahead, taking care of children and families, and helping us prepare for the inevitability that she would be leaving us. These words of our staff and families capture her best: She lives on in all of us who knew and respected this wonderful woman and exceptional clinician. This tenacious warrior fought on behalf of children for all of her life: she inspired countless clinicians to embrace child psychiatry and to become lifelong advocates for children. She loved life and celebrated being alive; we watched her compassion and commitment to service in action every day. You have graced our lives, touched our innermost selves, and we will carry your light with us always. She was taken too soon, but the prints she left are indelibly woven into the fabric of our lives as clinicians, researchers, academicians, and, above all, human beings. We will miss you terribly, Elizabeth." @default.
