Frederick King Goodwin (born April 21, 1936〔Goodwin, Frederick K (2003). (Bipolar Disorder: Origin, Recognition, and Treatment. ) Volume 64, Issue 6 of Journal of clinical psychiatry: Supplement p. 38. eM Publications〕) is an American psychiatrist and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center,〔http://john.gwumc.edu/FacultyList/searchmachine〕 where he is also director of the Center on Neuroscience, Medical Progress, and Society. He is a specialist in bipolar disorder (also known as manic-depressive illness) and recurrent depression.〔http://drgoodwin.com/index.php?page=bio Accessed on March 2, 2011〕 ==Life and career== Goodwin was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He received a B.S. from Georgetown University in 1958 and his M.D. from St. Louis University in 1963, and was a psychiatric resident at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. In 1965, Goodwin joined the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and served as NIMH Scientific Director and Chief of Intramural Research from 1981 to 1988. He was the first to report a controlled study on the effects of lithium in bipolar disorder. In July 1988, he was appointed by President Reagan's VP, George H. W. Bush to head ADAMHA, the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration, from which he resigned following controversy over his "Violence Initiative" where he used the word "monkey" in the text of one of his slides relating to his comments about inner-city youth and, by making the analogous comparison to primate behavioral studies, how they were prone to similar atavistic behavior due to the prevailing environmental conditions. Even though the term was grossly misinterpreted by the press, the immediate aftermath created a storm of controversy and attacks by other scientists within NIMH, the press and congress which eventually forced Goodwin out as director of ADMHA. After a short time period following the perceived misstep, he was reprimanded in the form of being appointed by then DHHS Secretary Sullivan, to head NIMH, a small step down, from 1992 until resigning in 1994. Goodwin had been on a consistent upward trajectory and had he avoided the controversy, its very possible he could have ascended to director of NIH which was one of his ambitions or even possibly secretary of HHS. He is a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences〔http://www.iom.edu/Global/DIrector/Detail.aspx?id=0000045478〕 and a fellow of the ACNP. He is a founder of the journal Psychiatry Research, and on the editorial boards of a number of other journals. He was president of the Psychiatric Research Society, elected in 1998.〔http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaleditorialboard.cws_home/522773/editorialboard〕 Goodwin is a recipient of the major research awards in his field including the Hofheimer Prize from the American Psychiatric Association, the International Anna-Monika Prize for Research in Depression, the Edward A. Strecker Award, the Nola Maddox Falcone Prize from NARSAD (now known as the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation),〔()〕 the McAlpin Research Award from the National Mental Health Association, the Distinguished Service Award from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and the Research Award from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He was the first recipient of the Psychiatrist of the Year from ''Psychiatric Times'', and the Fawcett Humanitarian Award of the NDMDA (now the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance. Goodwin was one of only five psychiatrists on the Current Contents list of the most frequently cited scientists in the world and one of 12 listed in The Best Doctors in the U.S. Another focus of Goodwins' research was in SAD (seasonal affective disorder) where he enthusiastically endorsed the used of light therapy to assist with combating the debilitating effects of SAD a form of depression. Goodwin published 'Manic Depressive Illness' in 1990 with Kay Redfield Jamison, republished in 2007, which is considered a classic in the field. Goodwin hosted the award-winning radio show ''The Infinite Mind.'' Started in 1997, the show (which at its height aired on over 300 public radio stations throughout the country), won more than 30 journalism awards over 10 years and was considered “public radio’s most honored and listened to health and science program." Since retiring from government, Goodwin has been actively involved in educating other psychiatrists through continuing medical education (CME) programs and pharmaceutical speakers' bureaus. 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「Frederick K.
