Theodore Shapiro is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in New York, where he is a professor emeritus in psychiatry and pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medical College and the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic.[1] He is a faculty member of the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research[2] and a training and supervising psychoanalyst at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute.[3]

Shapiro is the former director of the division of child psychiatry at Cornell[1] and the former editor of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association.[4] He graduated from Wesleyan University in 1953 and from the Weill Cornell Medical College in 1957.[5][6]

In 1994, when Shapiro stepped down after ten years service as editor of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, he had published nearly 150 research articles and six books. Cooper[4] writes: "His publications include significant contributions to our understanding of empathy, autism, linguistic structure, symbol formation, and diagnosis, among other topics." Since that time he has continued publishing and is the author or editor of at least nine books.
