Editor

C. Keith Conners is Professor Emeritus, Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. He had an extraordinary career as an academic, clinician, researcher, lecturer, author, editor-in-chief, and administrator. Dr Conners received his PhD from Harvard University, Massachusetts. His focus on ADHD grew while working as a clinical psychiatrist and research assistant at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Maryland. Dr Conners’ first task was to analyze data for a study of the effects of dexedrine on symptomatology in delinquents. When he recognized that a lot of the children underwent remarkable improvements on dexedrine and ritalin, he realized that it was a lifelong topic of study. He was also impressed by the teacher’s ability to recognize dramatic changes in drug-treated children. This discovery led to his use of teacher ratings as a way of documenting drug changes. Dr Conners saw many children whose diverse pattern of symptoms interested him. Employing another symptom list already in use, he collected data on normal and clinical children, and eventually published the first version of the Parent Rating Scale. The increasing use of the rating scales eventually made his original articles among the most cited in the literature. He has written several books on attention disorders and neuropsychology, and hundreds of journal articles and book chapters based on his research regarding the effects of food additives, nutrition, stimulant drugs, diagnosis, and dimensional syndromes
