Ian Brockington

Ian Brockington

Ian Brockington (1935-) was the son of Sir Colin Fraser Brockington, one of the top names in British medicine. Ian trained as a cardiologist and went to Nigeria where he completed a monumental work on cardimyopathy which formed the basis for his doctoral thesis.

However, on his return he decided to train in psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital. He developed a strong interest in nosology of psychiatric illnesses. He moved to Chicago as a Visiting Professor where he produced several classic works on the nosology of psychiatric illnesses. He moved to the Manchester Academy as a senior lecturer and was very soon appointed to a chair in Birmingham. By this time, he had also developed an interest in postpartum psychiatric illnesses and was one of the founders of Marce Society. Along with Ramesh Kumar, he produced a volume, "Motherhood and Mental Illness," that is still regarded as a classic in the field.

He is also known for his avocation of restoring Tudor farmhouses.
