MAX HAMILTON MEMORIAL PRIZE
The International College of Neuropsychopharmacology
Max
Hamilton, M.D., F.R.C.P., F.R.C.Psych., D.P.M. (1912-1988) is best known for his assessment of depressive illness
through psychometrics. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression is widely used throughout the world, and his 1960
paper on the problem of measuring the severity of depression is probably the most cited medical publication in the sec-
ond half of the twentieth century. The recipient of the 2014 award will be chosen by an international scientific jury by
March 2014. This prize consists of a monetary award of $10,000 (USD) and an engraved plaque, to be presented at the
29th CINP Congress in Vancouver, Canada.
