Barry S. Fogel (born 1952) is an American neuropsychiatrist,behavioral neurologist,medical writer,medical educator and inventor. He is the senior author of a standard text in neuropsychiatry and medical psychiatry,and a founder of the American Neuropsychiatric Association and the International Neuropsychiatric Association.
Barry S. Fogel was born in San Francisco and grew up in Los Angeles,California. His father Daniel Fogel (1923-1991) was a prominent trial lawyer and personal attorney for Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley;his brother Jeremy Fogel is a retired Federal Judge from the Northern District of California,and from 2011-2018 Director of the Federal Judicial Center,and from 2018 Director of the Berkeley Judicial Institute at the University of California.
Dr. Fogel was a mathematical prodigy,starting college at UCLA at age 14,attending Princeton University the following year,and entering the PhD program in mathematics at UC Berkeley at age 16. While working on a dissertation related to the mathematical theory of neural networks he reached a decision to become a clinical neuroscientist.
Fogel received his M.D. degree in 1976 from the UCSF School of Medicine. He also holds a master's degree from the MIT Sloan School of Management and M.A. and C.Phil. degrees in mathematics from the University of California,Berkeley. He was a resident in neurology in the Harvard-Longwood Neurological Training Program and a resident in psychiatry at Stanford University. [1]
He is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in neurology and psychiatry and by the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties in behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry.
From 1981 to 1996 Fogel served on the faculty of the Brown University School of Medicine,first as the founding director of the program in medical psychiatry at Rhode Island Hospital,and then as the Associate Director of the Brown Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research. He directed medical student education in psychiatry at Brown and mentored several medical students who became prominent psychiatrists,including Sally Satel and Scott Haltzman. While at Brown University he served as an advisor on mental health policy to U.S. Senator John Chafee (R-RI).
While at Brown he began a long collaboration with the late Dr. Alan Stoudemire of Emory University School of Medicine,co-editing five volumes on medical psychiatry,culminating in the publication in 1993 of Psychiatric Care of the Medical Patient by Oxford University Press. [1] That work received many positive reviews and is a "standard reference in medical psychiatry," addressing "the interface of psychiatry with medicine and surgery." [2] The book's third edition was published in 2015.
In 1988 Fogel co-founded the American Neuropsychiatric Association (ANPA) with Randolph B. Schiffer,M.D.,and served as its first president. [3]
In 1996 Fogel was a founder of the International Neuropsychiatric Association. [4] [5]
Fogel is currently Professor of Psychiatry,Part-time at Harvard Medical School and a physician at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital based at its Center for Brain-Mind Medicine. [6] [7] He is also on the staff of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. His academic role at Harvard includes the mentoring of postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty,several of whom have become leaders in behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry.
In 1995,together with three other health service researchers,he co-founded PointRight Inc.,a healthcare data analytics company focused on decision support for post-acute care. He was its principal scientist until December 2020,when the company was acquired. [8] He was the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Synchroneuron,Inc.,a CNS pharmaceutical startup (2011 and 2016),formed to develop novel treatments for movement disorders,combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder,and tinnitus. [9] [10] Since 2018 he has been on the Scientific Advisory Board of 4D Path,a digital pathology startup.
He also is an inventor and holds numerous U.S. and international patents involving pharmaceuticals,medical devices and computer software. [1] [8]

Dr. Fogel's publications on neuropsychiatry include the following:
A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in psychiatry, the branch of medicine devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, study, and treatment of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors and evaluate patients to determine whether their symptoms are the result of a physical illness, a combination of physical and mental ailments or strictly mental issues. Sometimes a psychiatrist works within a multi-disciplinary team, which may comprise clinical psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, and nursing staff. Psychiatrists have broad training in a bio-psycho-social approach to assessment and management of mental illness.
Neuropsychiatry or Organic Psychiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with psychiatry as it relates to neurology, in an effort to understand and attribute behavior to the interaction of neurobiology and social psychology factors. Within neuropsychiatry, the mind is considered "as an emergent property of the brain", whereas other behavioral and neurological specialties might consider the two as separate entities. Neuropsychiatry preceded the current disciplines of psychiatry and neurology, which previously had common training, however, those disciplines have subsequently diverged and are typically practiced separately.
Liaison psychiatry, also known as consultative psychiatry or consultation-liaison psychiatry is the branch of psychiatry that specialises in the interface between general medicine/pediatrics and psychiatry, usually taking place in a hospital or medical setting. The role of the consultation-liaison psychiatrist is to see patients with comorbid medical conditions at the request of the treating medical or surgical consultant or team. Consultation-liaison psychiatry has areas of overlap with other disciplines including psychosomatic medicine, health psychology and neuropsychiatry.
Clouding of consciousness is when a person is slightly less wakeful or aware than normal. They are not as aware of time or their surroundings and find it difficult to pay attention. People describe this subjective sensation as their mind being "foggy".
Child and adolescent psychiatry is a branch of psychiatry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders in children, adolescents, and their families. It investigates the biopsychosocial factors that influence the development and course of psychiatric disorders and treatment responses to various interventions. Child and adolescent psychiatrists primarily use psychotherapy and/or medication to treat mental disorders in the pediatric population.
Maximilian Fink is an American neurologist and psychiatrist best known for his work on ECT. His early work also included studies on the effect of psychoactive drugs on brain electrical activity; more recently he has written about the syndromes of catatonia and melancholia.
Geriatric psychiatry, also known as geropsychiatry, psychogeriatrics or psychiatry of old age, is a branch of medicine and a subspecialty of psychiatry dealing with the study, prevention, and treatment of neurodegenerative, cognitive impairment, and mental disorders in people of old age. Geriatric psychiatry as a subspecialty has significant overlap with the specialties of geriatric medicine, behavioural neurology, neuropsychiatry, neurology, and general psychiatry. Geriatric psychiatry has become an official subspecialty of psychiatry with a defined curriculum of study and core competencies.
Karl Kleist was a German neurologist and psychiatrist who made notable advances in descriptive psychopathology and neuropsychology. Kleist coined the terms unipolar (‘einpolig’) and bipolar (‘zweipolig’) that are now used in the concepts of unipolar depression and bipolar disorder. His main publications were in the field of neurology, and he is particularly known for his work on the localisation of function in the cerebral cortex of man including mapping of cortical functions on brain maps. The work is based on several hundred cases of shot wounded patients of World War I, whose functional deficits Kleist deliberately studied and described in detail during their lifetime. Later on, by means of brain autopsy, he documented the lesion and was, thus, able to localize brain function in each single case doing this also on cytoarchitectonical grounds. Kleist was a student of Carl Wernicke and his work was closely associated with the Wernicke tradition. Among his students were Edda Neele and Karl Leonhard, who further developed the Kleist-Leonhard classification system of psychosis.
Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders. These include various maladaptations related to mood, behaviour, cognition, and perceptions. See glossary of psychiatry.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to psychiatry:
The American Neuropsychiatric Association (ANPA) is a non-profit organization of professionals in neuropsychiatry, behavioral neurology and the clinical neurosciences, with over 700 members from around the world. Established in 1988, its mission is to improve the lives of people with disorders at the interface of psychiatry and neurology, with the vision of transforming recognition, understanding and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. It founded in 1988 by two academic physicians doubly certified in neurology and psychiatry, Barry S. Fogel and Randolph Schiffer.
Albert Moore Barrett, M.D. (1871-1936), an American physician, was professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan, and credited with the establishment of the first psychiatric hospital within a university.
Daniel Blain, M.D. (1898–1981) was an American physician and was the first medical director of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the first professional medical society, founded in the United States in 1844. He may be credited with the leadership which brought changes in the practice of psychiatry after World War II and in advocating the treatment for people with mental disorders.
Thomas William Salmon, M.D. (1876-1927) was a leader of the mental hygiene movement in the United States in early twentieth century.
