Why Is Helen Minnis Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Helen Minnis is a Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Glasgow. She studies reactive attachment disorder and other developmental conditions. Early life and education Minnis earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry at the University of Glasgow in 1985. She remained there for her medical studies and completed a bachelor of medicine, bachelor of surgery in 1988. In the 1990s Minnis worked as a doctor in an orphanage in Guatemala. Here she worked with children that had been abused and neglected. It was whilst she was in Guatemala that she became interested in attachment disorder. She noticed that children in orphanages would cling to visitors, whilst children in nearby villages hid from strangers. When she returned to Glasgow she noticed that children there were suffering from similar conditions; which she attributed to neglect. She moved to the Maudsley Hospital, where she trained in psychiatry and focussed her research on children with reactive attachment disorder. She was awarded a Wellcome Trust Clinical Fellowship to work at the Institute of Psychiatry Social, Genetic and Developmental Research Centre from 1995 to 1999. In 1996 she was award a master's degree in epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. She earned a PhD in child and adolescent psychiatry in 1998.
