Harry Kozol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harry Kozol (August 2, 1906 – August 27, 2008) was an American neurologist who helped establish the fields of forensic psychiatry and neuropsychiatry.[1] Kozol treated or analyzed several well-known figures, including playwright Eugene O'Neill,[2] the Boston Strangler, and heiress Patty Hearst.[3][4]

He married Ruth (Massell) Kozol and was the father of Jonathan Kozol. In later years, Kozol suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and his son wrote a book about the family's experience, The Theft of Memory.[5]

He graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Medical School.[6]
