David Kennedy Henderson (24 April 1884 - 20 April 1965) was a Scottish psychiatrist and a president of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. ==Biography== He was born on 24 April 1884 in Dumfries, Scotland. He co-published with R.D. Gillespie ''A Textbook of Psychiatry'' (first edition 1927), which became internationally influential for several decades. A series of lectures he gave in New York, America, were published as ''Psychopathic states'' in 1939, and ended up contributing to a narrowing of the public understanding of psychopathy as violently antisocial, though Henderson had described various different types many of which were not violent or criminal.〔(Psychopathic states. ) Henderson, D. K. New York, NY, US: W W Norton & Co. (1939). 178 pp.〕〔Hildebrand, M 2004 (The Construct of Psychopathy )〕 The Henderson Hospital, a specialist national unit in London set up to manage and treat 'psychopathic' personality disorder, was named after him.〔(Henderson Hospital 1947-2008 )〕 He was physician-superintendent in charge at the Gartnavel Royal Hospital in Glasgow from 1921 to 1932. His textbook on psychiatry has been described as the key to the Glasgow approach to mental illness, and Henderson in turn credited the approach of the influential Adolf Meyer whom he had worked with in America. Henderson also studied for some months in Germany with a key founder of modern psychiatry, Emil Kraepelin, whom he admired but found lacking in sensitivity to patients. He was knighted in 1947 and elected president of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in 1949.〔(Vignette: a doyen of ‘psychological medicine’ Sir David Henderson ) Douglas Haldane, 2006.〕 He died on 20 April 1965 in Edinburgh, Scotland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Henderson (psychiatrist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
