November 3rd, 2007 | by Mark Holah |
The psychiatrist and broadcaster Professor Anthony Clare died suddenly last Tuesday at the age of 64.
He became known to millions through his BBC Radio 4 show, In the Psychiatrist’s Chair, and his extensive media work.
He also wrote several popular books on psychiatry, and was professor of clinical psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin.
Hailed as having done as much to popularise psychiatry as anyone since Sigmund Freud, Professor Clare came to public prominence on Radio 4’s Stop the Week programme in the 1970s.
