Leckman obtained degrees in chemistry and philosophy from the College of Wooster in 1969,[1] and his MD from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in 1973.[3]

Leckman is married to Hannah Hone Leckman; they have two children.[3]

Career

After interning in San Francisco[3] at the United States Public Health Service Marine Hospital for two years (1973–1974), Leckman worked at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in adult psychiatry (1974–1976), before completing his residency in psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine in 1979.[1]

At Yale since 1979, he took several sabbaticals to study elsewhere, including a 1998 study of animal behavior at the University of Cambridge.[1] He was Director of Research for the Yale Child Study Center (1983–2010),[2] where his interests include the study of the interplay between genetic and epigenetic factors in human development and Darwinism in psychopathology.[3]

According to a profile of featured researchers by the Mental Health Research Association (NARSAD):

Very few people have the clinical, research and teaching experience, the empathy for the human condition, and the curiosity Dr. Leckman has to explore such a fundamental question as human attachment. He is a world-renowned child psychiatrist and patient-oriented clinical investigator with unique expertise in the evaluation of Tourette's syndrome and early-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder.[1]

Leckman is an international leader in Tourette syndrome research, and as of 2013, was the highest publisher on the topic.[4][5]
