42 MILLENNIUM B oth an educator and psychologist, Dr. Herbert Barry III is a leader in the field of mental health. Dr. Barry received a bachelor’s degree at Harvard University and continued his education in the Ivy League, obtaining both a master’s and PhD at Yale University. His career began when he became a U.S. Public Health Service-National Institute of Mental Health research fellow at Yale University — a position he held for two years. His knowledge of health- related issues proved to be rewarding when he was granted the opportunity to become an assistant professor at his alma mater, Yale, and the University of Connecticut, serving one and two years, respectively. As a result of his passion for research, Dr. Barry became a research associate professor in pharmacology at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Pharmacy. His continued drive to learn and teach catapulted him into a new position as a professor of the University of Pittsburgh in 1970. He took on the role of professor of pharmacology and physiology at the university’s School of Dental Medicine in 1987, and professor of pharmaceutical sciences in 1995. Today, he continues to lend his expertise to the University of Pittsburgh as a professor emeritus, a title he has held since 2001. Along with teaching, Dr. Barry is also a published researcher and author whose work includes both books and scholarly articles. His article, “Effects of alcohol on attack and defensive-submissive reactions in rats,” which he co-authored with Klaus A. Miczek, was featured in the Journal of Psychopharmacology in 1977 and chronicles his study of the effects of alcohol on fighting behaviors in pairs of rats. “Adolescence: An Anthropological Inquiry,” co-authored with Alice Schlegel, seeks answers to age-old questions by analyzing adolescence as a social construct. In addition to writing and publishing articles, he was also a field editor for the Journal of Psychopharmacology for 17 years and has contributed to other professional journals as well. His thirst for knowledge earned him the Research Scientist Development Award from the National Institute of Mental Health from 1967 to 1977, proving that Dr. Barry’s work has helped to pave the way in mental health research.
