From 1976 until his emeritate in 2006, he was professor of psychiatry at Columbia University in New York[3] and medical director of the New York State Psychiatric Institute.
He is well known for his approach to psychopharmacological dissection, which, he argued, allowed one to 'pierce through the fascinating, confusing web of symptoms and dysfunctions to tease out the major participant variables by attending to specific drug effects'.[4] [5]
