Monte B. Shapiro (born: May 31, 1912; died: April 29, 2000) was one of the founding fathers of clinical psychology in the United Kingdom[1] along with Hans Eysenck[2]
Shapiro developed the first scientific based training program in clinica[2]l psychology in the UK[3] at the Maudsley Hospital.
The British Psychological Society identified Shapiro as one of four "influential clinicians" who created case formulation[4] along with Eysenck, Vic Meyer and Ira Turkat,[5] a core skill required of practicing psychologists in the UK as of 2011. In particular, Shapiro developed the use of the experimental method in single clinical cases[6] as a way to integrate psychological practice and a scientific approach.[7]
Shapiro's development in the 1950's, of application of the experimental method to individual cases in clinical psychology, ultimately extended to current practice in neuropsychology.[2]
In 1984, the British Psychological Society honored Shapiro by creating the M.B. Shapiro Award, to honor a British psychologist each year who has achieved eminence in their contributions to the field. Shapiro was the first recipient of the award.[8]
Earlier in his career, Shapiro's effort to join an elite research organization was met with rejection when his application to the Experimental Psychological Society[9] was declined.[10] At no time in his career was Shapiro awarded a professorship.[2]
Although Shapiro and Eysenck worked together, they were at odds on various issues, including of note, the appointment of Stanley Rachman to their faculty.[10]
