Isabella McDougall Frankau (died May 1967), née Robertson, was a British psychiatrist who specialised in alcohol and drug addiction. A London-based "society doctor",〔(Pop & Jazz: As though he had wings ) Independent〕 her readiness to prescribe controlled drugs is credited with single-handedly transforming British drug policy from considering drug addiction as an illness, to be treated, to one of considering addicts as criminals, to be punished.〔(Drugs policy: The 'British system' ) BBC News〕 From evidence she gave to the Brain Committee, she said the total between 1958 to 1964 was just over 500.〔Heroin addiction care and control: the British System HB Speare 2002, page 148〕 After the death of her first husband Gordon Cunningham she married the eminent surgeon Claude Frankau (1883–1967) in 1935. When her husband was knighted in the 1945 New Years Honours Isabella Frankau became known as "Lady Frankau" in accordance with accepted usage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Debrett's )〕 As Dr Isabella Robertson, she was one of the first researchers at the Maudsley Hospital, initially working with Frederick Mott and Frederick Golla on the physical basis of psychoses.〔'' In the transcription Sir Aubrey apparently refers to "the future Lady Frankau" as "Camilla Robertson" rather than "Isabella"''〕 During the Second World War, she worked at Cambridge University's Psychological Laboratory on the use of dietary supplements to improve the physical performance of servicemen. In the early 1950s she researched the use of subconvulsive electroshock therapy treatment for alcoholism. ==References== 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「Isabella Frankau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
