Louis August Gottschalk
(August 26, 1916 – November 27, 2008) was an American
psychiatrist
and
neuroscientist
. Gottschalk earned his M.D. at
Washington University in St. Louis
in 1943 and his Ph.D. from
Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute
in 1977. He was the founding chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at
University of California Irvine
College of Medicine. He gained national prominence by announcing in 1987 that
Ronald Reagan
had been suffering from diminished mental ability as early as 1980. He came to this conclusion by using the
Gottschalk-Gleser scales
, an internationally used diagnostic tool he helped develop for charting impairments in brain function, to measure speech patterns in Reagan's 1980 and 1984 presidential debates.
Gottschalk coinvented software that uncovered a link between childhood
attention deficit disorder
and adult addiction to alcohol and drugs. In 2004, at age 87, he published his last book,
World War II: Neuropsychiatric Casualties, Out of Sight, Out of Mind.
In 2006, his son filed a suit alleging that Gottschalk had lost millions of dollars in an
advance-fee scam
.
Gottschalk died at his home on November 27, 2008.
