Russell Barkley

Russell A. Barkley (born 1949)[1] is a clinical psychologist who is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina[2][3][4] and an author of books on ADHD.[5][6][7][8][9] Involved in research since 1973 and a licensed psychologist since 1977,[10] he is an expert on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and has devoted much of his scientific career to studying ADHD and related problems in children. His research interests include childhood defiance.

Author of 15 books and more than 180 scientific papers, Barkley edits The ADHD Report, a newsletter for clinicians and parents. He has also conducted trials on sluggish cognitive tempo for Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical entity whose financial ties to Barkley have led to public criticism for a perceived conflict of interest.[11][12]

Early life and education

Barkley had a twin brother, Ronald.[1][13] He earned an Associate of Arts from Wayne Community College in Goldsboro, North Carolina in June 1972, and a BA in psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[14] He earned an MA and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.[15] From July 1976 to 1977, Barkley was an intern at the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center in Portland, Oregon.[14][16]

Career

In 1978, Barkley founded the Neuropsychology Service at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Milwaukee Children's Hospital, and served as its chief until 1985. He then moved to the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where he served as Director of Psychology from 1985 to 2000. Barkley was professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.[17][18][19] In 2005, he joined the State University of New York Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York, where he was a research professor of psychiatry.[20][21] He has been at the Medical University of South Carolina since 2003.[18]

At least one of Barkley's rating scales for adult ADHD evaluates sluggish cognitive tempo.[11][22][23] He has been a paid speaker and consultant for Eli Lilly, McNeil, Janssen-Orth, Janssen-Cilag, Novartis, Shire, and Theravance.[24][25][26][27][28][29]
