Joseph Biederman (29 September 1947 – 5 January 2023) was an American academic psychiatrist. He was Chief of the Clinical and Research Programs in Pediatric Psychopharmacology and Adult ADHD at the Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
From 2019 to 2022, his citation metrics placed him in the top 0.01% of scientists across all fields.[1] His research was and is highly cited: Biederman had a lifetime h-index of 121,[2] which is one of the highest in the field of mental health. These metrics indicate that his publications have had a substantial impact on the field. Although his biggest focus was on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in youth and adults, he also studied obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, tic disorders, depression, and substance use disorders in youth. Due to this work, he is regarded as the father of pediatric psychopharmacology.[3]
