Abstract

Eugene Stern Paykel was born on 9 September 1934 in Auckland, New Zealand. His research work focused on affective disorders in which he made significant and far-reaching contributions to the study of both causes and treatments of depression, spanning the fields of epidemiology, community psychiatry, psychological therapy, and psychopharmacology. He was the sole editor of the influential ‘Handbook of Affective Disorders’ (editions 1 and 2) which brought together these disparate areas of study as an early example of the biopsychosocial framework for understanding mental illness. Overall, he published approximately 400 papers, with over 32,000 citations, and authored, co-authored, or edited eight books. As a reflection of his research interest in psychopharmacology, he served as President of The British Association for Psychopharmacology (BAP) and The Collegium Internationale Neuropsychopharmacologicum (CINP), as well as being accepted into ACNP membership in 1981, eventually becoming Fellow Emeritus.
