Personal History
Dr. Carpenter's major professional interest has been severe mental illness, especially schizophrenia. His approach to the care and study of patients is within the context of a broad medical model integrating biological, psychological and social data as they pertain to diagnosis, treatment and etiology. He has made original and fundamental contributions in psychopathology, assessment methodology, testing of new treatments and research ethics. He has authored over 200 clinical and scientific articles, book chapters and books.
Dr. Carpenter has served on the editorial boards of the Archives of General Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, Neuropsychopharmacology, Psychiatry Research, Schizophrenia Bulletin, Schizophrenia Research, Current Psychiatry Reports and the CD-ROM Version (ACNP) Neuropsychopharmacology: Fourth Generation of Progress.
Special professional assignments include service on the NIMH Intramural Research Program Board of Scientific Counselors and as a consultant and reviewer for NIMH and NIH on many topics. He chaired the NIMH Research Scientist Career Development Committee and the NIMH National Plan Committee on Treatment Research. Dr. Carpenter is the only scientist to direct both an NIMH-funded Clinical Research Center (now Intervention Research Center) and an NIMH-funded Center for Neuroscience and Schizophrenia.
He provided expert testimony in the cases of the U.S. Government vs. John Hinckley and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs. John DuPont and in 1989 was a member of the State Department delegation to inspect the political use of psychiatry in the Soviet Union. He is a recipient of national and international research awards and is listed in The Best Doctors in America, 1994 second edition. Dr. Carpenter was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 1998.
