Professor Sir Michael Rutter was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 RCPsych Awards on 16 November 2010. This short video celebrates Sir Michael's tremendous contribution to child and adolescent psychiatry, and psychiatry in general. After qualifying in medicine, he embarked on a programme of research and clinical development that transformed child and adolescent psychiatry and, in 1973, became the country's first ever professor of child and adolescent psychiatry.
'It is the hardest thing in the world to overcome the status-quo'. His greatest achievement is to overcome the gender stereotypes that dominated the study of child development and to turn child psychiatry into a scientific discipline. He has never allowed 'convention' to dictate what he sees is in the best interests of the child.
