In the field of juvenile bipolar disorder research, one name towers above all others--Joseph Biederman.
Joseph Biederman is the Chief of Clinical and Research Programs in Pediatric Psychopharmacology and Adult ADHD at Massachusetts General Hospital, Director of the Alan and Lorraine Bressler Clinical Research Program for Autism Spectrum Disorders at Massachusetts General Hospital, and a faculty member in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard. Once, while being deposed in a lawsuit, Dr. Biederman identified his academic rank as "full professor." Asked what was above that, Biederman replied "God."
