Autorenporträt
Alec (Alexander) Hamilton Leighton MD was a research psychiatrist who, with his psychiatrist wife, Dorothea Leighton, pioneered the study of levels and distributions of mental illness in human populations and of medical anthropology. In 1948, they designed and initiated a long-term study of psychiatric epidemiology in Digby County Nova Scotia, the Stirling County Study, which continued for several decades. During World War II, Alec Leighton served in a US Naval Intelligence unit focused on Japan, which advised strongly against deployment there of nuclear weapons. He had academic appointments at Cornell University, Harvard University and Dalhousie University. He was especially proud of his election to membership in the American Philosophical Society and of being granted, based on knowledge and competence, a license as a back-county guide in the forests of Nova Scotia.
