Prof. George William Brown OBE, FBA (1930–2026)
"George Brown was a huge figure in sociology and social psychiatry. At a time when social science and psychiatry were so riven with conceptual differences they could not work constructively, George’s approach was collaborative, courageous and imaginative. His work addressed real-world problems and in so doing greatly enriched mental health research."Professor Matthew Hotopf, Executive Dean, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience:
