Dr. Bernard H. Shulman, age 96, died peacefully at home on November 24, 2018. Beloved husband of Phyllis, his wife of 68 years. Beloved father of Mark, Robert (Sarah), and Cynthia and beloved Grandpa Bear to eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Bernie was born and raised in Baltimore, MD to parents newly immigrated from Mlyniv, a small town in Ukraine, then part of the Russian Republic. After graduating from Johns Hopkins University with a B.A. in 1943, he matriculated into The Chicago Medical School, now Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science and graduated in 1946, just shy of his 24th birthday. It was there that Bernard met his psychiatry professor, Rudolph Dreikurs, a student and colleague of Alfred Adler, the famed Viennese psychiatrist. Dr. Dreikurs escaped Vienna in 1938 before the outbreak of WWII. Bernard later joined Dr. Dreikurs in clinical practice while taking his psychiatry residency training at Hines VA Hospital. With residency training interrupted by the Korean War and his drafting into the Army, Bernard established one of the Army's first outpatient mental health centers at Fort Belvoir, VA. It was around that time that Bernard, along with Dr. Dreikurs and Harold Mosak, PhD founded the Alfred Adler Institute in Chicago. That endeavor grew through the years into the Adler University, a fully accredited not-for-profit graduate training institution for psychologists and therapists. Bernard was an innovator, establishing the psychiatry inpatient unit at St. Joseph's Hospital and serving as its Medical Director and Department Chair. In this role, he also started one of the first hospital-based mental health clinics, as he saw its great need when state psychiatric hospitals began to close in the early 1960's. The clinic at St. Joseph's became a model for several other such clinics in the Chicago area that continue to serve the community. A prolific teacher, author and original thinker, Bernard's books have been translated into several foreign languages. In addition to the Alfred Adler Institute/University, he taught psychiatry and Adlerian psychology through the years at such institutions as Galesburg State Research Hospital, Illinois State Psychiatric Institute (ISPI), Northwestern University Medical School and Rush Medical College. His contributions to psychiatry and psychology are recognized in countries around globe. He authored a half dozen books and published over a hundred papers of scholarly and original work on psychology theory and practice of psychotherapy. He served four terms as president of the International Association of Individual Psychology during its time of transition in the 1970's, bringing bylaws and organizing its educational and curricula endeavors. In addition to his career accomplishments, Bernie was first and foremost a husband, a father, a humanist and a kind, caring physician. Bernie will be fondly remembered as a wise and insightful patriarch by family, friends, colleagues, students and patients alike. Bernie saw his last patient in the office on his 91st birthday. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, November 29th at 2:00 pm at North Shore Congregation Israel, 1185 Sheridan Road, Glencoe, IL 60022. A reception will immediately follow.
