Debates raged over how much of human and animal behavior is instinctive and how much is learned, and how behavior could be quantified accurately. At the Johns Hopkins University's new Phipps Psychiatric Clinic, Curt P. Richter stood aside from these heated theoretical arguments, choosing instead to apply his data-collection methods, innovative measurement techniques, playful sense of exploration, and consummate surgical skill to laboratory examinations of the biological basis of behavior. From identifying the biological clocks that govern behavior and physiology to observing the self-regulation of nutrient levels by the body, the cyclical nature of some mental illnesses, and the causes of hopelessness, Richter's wide-ranging discoveries not only influenced the burgeoning field of psychobiology and paved the way for later researchers but also often had implications for the treatment of patients in the clinic. At the time of his death in 1988, Richter left behind a massive collection of laboratory data. For this book, Jay Schulkin mined six decades of Richter's archived research data, personal documents, and interviews to flesh out an engaging portrait of a "laboratory artisan" in the context of his work. 606 $aPsychology$vBiography 606 $aBiological rhythms$vBiography 606 $aBehavior$xphysiology$vBiography 606 $aPsychobiology, Experimental$zMaryland$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 20$aPsychology 615 20$aBiological rhythms 615 10$aBehavior$xphysiology 615 0$aPsychobiology, Experimental 676 $a152/.092 676 $aB 700 $aSchulkin$b Jay$0869275 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524847103321 996 $aCurt Richter$92676763 997 $aUNINA
