Hans Steiner (June 27, 1946 – October 17, 2022) was an Austrian-born American professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, child and adolescent psychiatry and human development at Stanford University, School of Medicine.[1] In 2010 he was awarded Lifetime Distinguished Fellow by the American Psychiatric Association.

As an emeritus professor, he continued to teach and research and maintained a selective private practice in Palo Alto.[2][3][4]

Steiner advocated the developmental psychopathology[5][6][7][8][9] and developmental psychiatry perspective[10] within psychiatry. He worked in the subfields of aggression,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] its normal and abnormal development; disruptive behavior disorders (such as conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder,[19][20][21] attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder); eating disorders[22][23] (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa); trauma-related psychopathology (acute stress disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorder, resilience); the overlap between psychiatric and other medical disorders[24] (somatoform disorders, medical trauma); personality development across the life span, and sports psychology.[25][26]

Education

Steiner studied medicine at the medical faculty of the University of Vienna and was awarded the doctor medicinae universalis (Dr. med. univ.; title equivalent to M.D.) in 1972. After completing a rotating internship in internal medicine, surgery and obstetrics/gynecology at the Rudolfstiftung in Vienna, he came to the United States (1973) to complete his general psychiatry residency training at the State University of New York (SUNY), Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, New York (1973–76). He then went on to fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1976–78), where he also was the chief resident in the years 1977–78.[27]

Creative writing

After becoming professor emeritus, Steiner returned to creative writing, producing short stories, novel, and poems.[28] He had been active in these endeavors up to his years in medical school, writing in German at the time. His writings were in German and in English.

Steiner organized a group of physicians at Stanford who also write creatively, named the Pegasus Physicians.[29] The group meets monthly and discusses works in progress or in the planning stage.
