His graduate training in psychiatry was spent in the Boston Psychopathic Hospital under the direction of C. Macie Campbell. In 1929 he be come Associate Professor and later Professor of Psychiatry in the University of Iowa (1929-1939), leaving this post to be come Clinical Director and Director of Research in Worcester State Hospital (1939- 1946).While there he was made Professor of Psychiatry in Tufts College School of Medicine. The Worcester State Hospital is rich in tradition and has graduated many leaders of psychiatry in the United States. Dr. Malamud not only fulfllled this old, but added his own tradition, for it was here that he carried out some of his most in teres- tingresearches into the elusive problem of schizophrenia. As was tobe expected from his training and background, his approach to this, as to all problems in psychiatry, was eclectic, and his efforts were directed toward elucidation of both mental and physical influences in the disease. He was particularly concerned with the en docrine influenc- es in schizophrenia.In 1946 he became Professor and Chair man of the Department of Psychiatry in Boston University School of Medicine, and Chief of the Psychiatric Service, and later Psychiatrist-in-Chief of the Massachusetts Memorial Hospital. In 1958, he left this post to become Research Director of the National Association for Mental Health.
