Richard Kogan (born 1955) is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical Center; Co-Director of the Medical Center's Human Sexuality Program; and Artistic Director of the Weill Cornell Music and Medicine Program.〔Nevada Psychiatric Association, ''Course Syllabus, 18th Annual Psychopharmacology Update'', p. 217.〕 He also conducts a private practice of psychiatry in New York City.〔 In parallel with his medical vocation, Kogan pursues an equally serious vocation as a concert pianist. This unique combination of accomplishments has led him to develop a series of renowned lecture-recitals that explore the role of music in healing, and the influence of psychological factors and psychiatric and other medical illness on the creative work of composers. ==Life== Richard Kogan is the son of a gastroenterologist from Elizabeth, New Jersey, the second of five children. A musical prodigy, he began piano performances in 1961 at age 6. But the world of medicine was never far from the family life; his father took his precocious son on medical rounds.〔(PubMed listing )〕 His mother, for her part, enrolled him at the Juilliard School of Music Pre-college, where he studied piano with Nadia Reisenberg.〔 At Harvard University, where he studied music (his major) and completed a pre-medical curriculum, Kogan formed a trio with his Juilliard friend Yo-Yo Ma and with violinist Lynn Chang.〔 After earning a bachelor's degree at Harvard in 1977, he went to Harvard Medical School under a special five-year plan that enabled him to travel and perform concerts.〔 Kogan received his M.D. degree from Harvard Medical School in 1982.〔 He completed a psychiatry residency and an academic fellowship at New York University.〔 In 2001, Kogan presented a symposium at the American Psychiatric Association on mental illness and musical creativity. The resulting experience was a revelation to him and launched him on a new career. It brought home to him that exploring the psyches of composers made him a better interpreter of their scores, and that understanding the role of music in people's lives made him a better psychiatrist. 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「Richard Kogan (physician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
