Psykiatri inom Medicin

Carl Binger (1889–1976) was an American psychiatrist and the author of articles and books about the practice of medicine. Binger grew up in New York City and attended Harvard College (1906) and Harvard Medical School (1914), after which he served as a doctor in World War I and in a Red Cross mission to combat a Typhus epidemic in Macedonia. During the 1920s he was a research pathologist at the Rockefeller Institute, where he became interested in the psychological aspects of illness and health. Binger then studied psychiatry in London, Heidelberg and, in Zurich, under Dr. Carl Jung and registered as a psychiatrist in 1946. He gave psychiatric evidence as a defense witness in the 1949 Alger Hiss trials. Binger was professor of clinical psychiatry at the Cornell University Medical School, and later consultant in psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. He was a founder of the American Psychosomatic Society and editor in chief of Psychosomatic Medicine.
