Michael Rutter

In <a id="__tag_330778773" class=" bibr popnode tag_hotlink tag_tooltip" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3757918/#bibr68-0952695113484320">1965</a>, Michael Rutter was appointed as Senior Lecturer in Child Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, taking over the post left vacant by Anthony in 1958 (Institute of Psychiatry, 1965). Rutter had trained in medicine at Birmingham and specialized in psychiatry at the Maudsley under Aubrey Lewis and Eysenck. In 1961, he studied with the comparative psychologist Herb Birch and the psychiatric epidemiologist Ben Pasamanick. Along with Pasamanick, Rutter was interested in using epidemiological methods in order to determine causation rather than simply to measure prevalence rates (<a class=" bibr popnode" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3757918/#bibr73-0952695113484320">Rutter, 2001</a>). In 1965, he published a manifesto arguing for the classification of all childhood psychiatric disorders, asserting that ‘until a disorder can be identified and characterised, it cannot be adequately studied’ (1965: 71). He thereafter worked closely with the World Health Organisation in developing a multi-axial system of psychiatric diagnoses (ibid.; <a class=" bibr popnode" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3757918/#bibr82-0952695113484320">Shaffer, 2001</a>). In line with these efforts, Rutter initiated a study of childhood autism in a cohort of children in Aberdeen and encouraged further population studies of this condition in order to assist the general field of child psychiatry. At the same time, Rutter and Tizard embarked on a major study of the complete rates of psychiatric disorder in all children resident on the Isle of Wight (<a class=" bibr popnode" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3757918/#bibr79-0952695113484320">Rutter, Tizard and Whitmore, 1970</a>). According to Rutter, epidemiological studies could gather similar research subjects who could help determine the causes of autism and other disorders thereby eradicating the need for speculative child psychoanalysis and psychology.
