Psychiatry is one of the parts that must be passed to get a doctor’s degree. Historically, psychiatry is a science derived from neuropsychiatry which later separated itself into an independent branch of medicine. FK Undip Psychiatry has a long and unique history.

Prof. Tahitoe had an idea to stand alone but the idea was rejected by the Director of Dr. Hospital. Kariadi (dr. Soebagyo) with the reason that there is already a Semarang Mental Hospital.

Adiyoso Abubakar, dr. Slamet santoso and dr. MS Hartono.

Since 1975 UPF Psychiatry has obtained a building to treat people with mental disorders with a capacity of 8 beds, 4 beds for men’s wards and 4 beds for women’s wards. The psychiatry ward was inaugurated on July 2, 1975 by the Head of the Directorate of Mental Health, which at that time was held by Prof. Dr. Kusumanto Setyonegoro and the Director of the Hospital. Dr Kariadi at that time was held by dr. Soerarjo Darsono. Since then the psychiatric laboratory has been split into two places, the first at Dr. Hospital. Kariadi and the second at the Semarang Mental Hospital. Two teaching staff stay at Dr. Hospital. Kariadi and concurrently teach at the Mental Hospital and two other teaching staff stay at the Mental Hospital as education coordinator for senior clerks.
