Jonathan Shay (born 1941)〔("Jonathan Shay" entry in Contemporary Authors )〕〔(2007 MacArthur Foundation Awards )〕 is a doctor and clinical psychiatrist. He holds a B.A from Harvard (1963) and an M.D. (1971) and a Ph.D. (1972) from the University of Pennsylvania.〔(Jonathan Shay, Clinical Psychiatrist / Classicist )〕 He is best known for his publications comparing the experiences of Vietnam veterans with the descriptions of war and homecoming in Homer's ''Iliad'' and ''Odyssey''. ==Work with Vietnam veterans== Shay's early medical work was laboratory research on how central nervous system cells are affected by strokes,〔Shay, J. (1973). "Morphometry of an ischemic lesion of cat spinal cord." ''The American journal of pathology,'' 72(3), 397.〕〔Shay, J., & Gonatas, N. K. (1973). "Electron microscopy of cat spinal cord subject to circulatory arrest and deep local hypothermia (15 C)." ''The American journal of pathology,'' 72(3), 369.〕〔Parks, J. M., Shay, J., & Ames III, A. (1976). "Cell volume and permeability of oxygen-and glucose-deprived retina in vitro." ''Archives of neurology,'' 33(10), 709.〕〔Shay, J., & Ames III, A. (1976). "Retina Subjected to Components of Ischemia In Vitro: Selective Vulnerability and Minimum Lethal Exposure of Neurons and Glia to Oxygen and/or Glucose Deprivation and to Loss of Exchange With Incubating Medium." ''Archives of Neurology,'' 33(10), 715.〕 but after suffering a stroke himself, he went to work for the United States Department of Veterans' Affairs outpatient clinic in Boston.〔(Joseph Shapiro, "Psychiatrist Who Counsels Vets Wins Genius Grant," NPR, September 25, 2007. )〕 While working there, in his words, "The veterans simply kidnapped me," and his work with them "utterly redirected my life." In 1987, Shay shifted from neuropathology to the study of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and published a short article linking the combat histories of patients at the VA with the experience of war described in Homer's ''Iliad''.〔Shay, J. (1991). "Learning about combat stress from Homer's Iliad." ''Journal of Traumatic Stress,'' 4(4), 561-579.〕 He was then approached by classics professor Gregory Nagy who suggested that the topic might be expanded into a full-length book on the nature and treatment of PTSD. He has written two books, ''Achilles in Vietnam: Combat Trauma and the Undoing of Character''〔Shay, Jonathan. ''Achilles in Vietnam: Combat trauma and the undoing of character.'' Simon and Schuster, 2010. ISBN 978-0-684-81321-9〕 and ''Odysseus in America: Combat Trauma and the Trials of Homecoming'',〔Shay, J. (2002). ''Odysseus in America: Combat Trauma and the Trials of Homecoming.'' New York: Scribner. ISBN 978-0-7432-1157-4〕 which discuss PTSD by reference to the experiences of American veterans of the Vietnam War, and the experiences depicted in the ''Iliad'' and the ''Odyssey''. Shay's research uncovered what may be the earliest historical reference to PTSD, in Lady Percy's soliloquy in Henry IV, Part 1 (act 2, (scene 3, lines 40-62 )). Written around 1597, it represents an unusually accurate description of the symptom constellation of PTSD.〔 Shay has also done research on the use of Prozac in treating PTSD in Vietnam veterans.〔Shay, J. (1992). "Fluoxetine reduces explosiveness and elevates mood of Vietnam combat vets with PTSD." ''Journal of Traumatic Stress,'' 5(1), 97-101.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jonathan Shay (born 1941)("Jonathan Shay" entry in Contemporary Authors )(2007 MacArthur Foundation Awards ) is a doctor and clinical psychiatrist.
