Dr. Stephen Mayberg has been Director of the California Department of Mental Health since February 1993. Since then, he has embarked on an ambitious agenda that includes major initiatives to reform the mental health system. These reforms reflect changes based on programmatic research and program outcomes and accountability. Dr. Mayberg received his undergraduate degree from Yale University and his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Minnesota. He completed his internship at the University of California, Davis, and has worked for the California mental health system since that time. During his public service career, he has been an advocate for interagency programming and planning. In June 2002, Dr. Mayberg was appointed to the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. Dr. Mayberg’s primary interest has always been as a clinician, and throughout his career he has continued to provide clinical services.
