Virginia Douglas : ウィキペディア英語版 | Virginia Douglas Virginia I. Douglas (born January 28, 1927) is a Canadian psychologist and emeritus professor at McGill University. In the early 1970s, Douglas contributed to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) research by highlighting the presence of marked deficits in sustained attention and impulse control in children with this disorder. Previous to Douglas’ 1972 article ''Stop, look and listen: The problem of sustained attention and impulse control in hyperactive and normal children'', ADHD was referred to as hyperkinesis. It was widely believed that hyperactivity, not attentional problems, was the main factor underlying this disorder. As a result of Douglas’s research, attention deficit disorder (ADD) with or without hyperactivity was included in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III).〔http://thecenterofattentionforadd.com/history-of-attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder/〕 in 1980. Douglas served as the president of the Canadian Psychological Association in 1971. Over the course of her career she has received numerous honors and awards, including the Canadian Psychological Association Gold Medal for Distinguished Lifetime Contributions to Canadian Psychology in 2004. ==Early life== Douglas was born in London, Ontario. Douglas attended Smiths Falls High School in Smiths Falls, Ontario. After graduating, she moved to Kingston to study at Queen’s University. She completed her Bachelor of Arts in 1948, only discovering the subject of psychology in the final year of her undergraduate degree. Douglas attended the University of Michigan, where she completed two master’s degrees: one in social work and the other in psychology. She obtained her PhD in psychology in 1958.
