Alan F. Schatzberg, M.D., Kenneth T. Norris, Jr. Professor and Chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Dr. Schatzberg is an active investigator in the biology and psychopharmacology of anxiety and depressive disorders. He has authored or edited over 200 publications, including the Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology and the recently-published Textbook of Psychopharmacology.

Dr. Schatzberg has recently investigated antecedents of depression in adults. Specifically, his research has demonstrated that social phobia during adolescence frequently precedes adult depression. He is now embarking on a study to test whether an intervention to treat social phobia during adolescence can reduce the likelihood of subsequent depression. Dr. Schatzberg is committed to having the Department of Psychiatry play a key role in the Stanford Center on Adolescence.
