He published in the fields of extrapyramidal disorders, neuropharmacology, and medical history and served as editor of "The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology" [cite journal | url = http://jcp.sagepub.com/cgi/content/citation/18/11/568?ck=nck | title = Clinical Neuropharmacology | journal = The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology | volume = Volume 2 | author = Pelton, William E | accessdate = 2007-10-17] and of the encyclopedic "Handbook of Clinical Neurology" [cite web | url = http://www.bookfinder.com/author/harold-l-klawans/ |title = Harold L. Klawans |publisher = Bookfinder.com | accessdate = 2007-10-17] while publishing several novels.
