He attended undergraduate and medical school at Vanderbilt University after serving as an infantry officer in World War II〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Nat T. Winston Jr. Obituary ) 〕 . Graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1953, Dr. Winston was credited with being the first psychiatrist in Eastern Tennessee〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Psychology Speaker: Dr. Nat T. Winston, Jr. ) 〕 , and the first director of the Johnson City Mental Health Clinic. He was later appointed as the first superintendent of Moccasin Bend Psychiatric Hospital, where his work gained national recognition for placing Tennessee on the forefront of mental healthcare. Following these posts, he was appointed Commissioner of Mental Health for Tennessee by Gov. Frank Clemet and again under Gov. Buford Ellington. After a Republican bid for the 1974 gubernatorial seat, Dr. Winston entered the private sector founding American Psychiatric Hospitals, which later merged with Hospital Affiliates before being acquired by HCA. Dr. Winston continued in private healthcare by building and opening hospitals for sexually abused adolescents and serving as Medical Director for several companies and hospitals. In 2005, he was awarded the 'Beyond the Call' award for exceptional professional dedication to the Psychiatric Field and in 2006, he was presented the Dorothea Dix award for his outstanding contribution to Psychiatry. In later years he gave talks to university students regarding his experiences in the medical field—most notably at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee on April 20, 2010; an event that was sponsored by the university's prestigious Psi Chi honor society. Dr. Winston also gained national recognition as an entertainer by playing banjo and earning a gold record for selling over one million copies of his successful 'How to Play' instructional record series. He often stated his fondness of the Appalachian culture and was considered an expert and ambassador to the history, music, and people of Appalachia by many of his colleagues. 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「Nat T.
