Michael Rutter is a leading international figure in academic psychiatry. He has worked in the USA, University of Birmingham and for much of his career at the Institute of Psychiatry in London. His research has included the epidemiology of childhood psychiatric illnesses, longitudinal studies of school effectiveness, depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He has written extensively about childhood autism, including autistic “idiots savants”. He is well known for studying the interplay of nature and nurture in the development of childhood psychiatric disturbances, and devised objective measurements of the “deprivation index” in a child’s environment, showing that this correlated with the risk of developing antisocial behaviour, drug taking or criminality.
