Stanley W. Jackson was Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and History of Medicine and Senior Research Scholar in the Section of the History of Medicine at Yale University Medical School, 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT 06510. Between 1991 and 1996 he was Editor of the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences. The two main themes of his research, the history of "psychological illnesses" and the history of healing, were informed not only by his scholarship but also by his experience as a practicing psychiatrist and a teacher of psychiatrists-in-training. His extensive writings on the history of "unusual mental states" and melancholia included his book, Melancholia and Depression: From Hippocratic Times to Modern Times (1986). In recent years, his research focused on the ingredients that are common to all forms of healing. These were the subject of his recent book, Care of the Psyche: A History of Psychological Healing (1999). Dr. Jackson died on 24 May 2000.
