About David Raft, M.D.
 
David Raft, MD
David Raft, M.D.
1930 - 1985
Dr. David Raft, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, was a committed researcher, clinician and teacher.  As Associate Professor in the University of North Carolina School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, he taught on the consult/liaison service.  He also taught and supervised in the Psychoanalytic Institute of the Carolinas (then known as the UNC-Duke Psychoanalytic Education Program).

Equally comfortable with internal medicine, psychopharmacology and psychoanalysis or a combination of those he could and would respond to emergencies with the same generosity and excellence he showed in providing psychoanalytic supervision. Dr. Raft wrote on diverse topics including depression in medical patients, anorexia nervosa, sexual problems, psychopharmacological prescribing by non-psychiatrists, somatization, and therapeutic abortion.

Dr. Raft's real love was teaching, supervising and conducting psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Those he supervised and mentored remember him as a dedicated teacher of the craft. The Raft Fellowship will provide financial support in order to share his professional values with new generations of students and psychoanalysts.
