Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Psychiatry, Tics, Tourette syndrome, Anxiety disorder and Clinical psychology. James F. Leckman has researched Psychiatry in several fields, including Proband and Pediatrics. His research integrates issues of Obsessive compulsive, Tourette's syndrome, Clonidine and Central nervous system disease in his study of Tics.

His research investigates the connection between Tourette syndrome and topics such as Neuroscience that intersect with problems in Epigenesis. His research on Anxiety disorder also deals with topics like

  • Comorbidity which connect with Neurological disorder,
  • Age of onset which intersects with area such as Family history,
  • Internal medicine that connect with fields like Endocrinology. The various areas that James F. Leckman examines in his Clinical psychology study include Mental health, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Nosology and Clinical trial.

His most cited work include:

  • The Yale Global Tic Severity Scale: Initial Testing of a Clinician-Rated Scale of Tic Severity (1498 citations)
  • Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale: Reliability and Validity (1407 citations)
  • Best estimate of lifetime psychiatric diagnosis: a methodological study. (1292 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Psychiatry, Tourette syndrome, Tics, Clinical psychology and Internal medicine. His studies link Pediatrics with Psychiatry. James F. Leckman combines subjects such as Genetics, Severity of illness, Neuroscience and Degenerative disease with his study of Tourette syndrome.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Tourette's syndrome and Central nervous system disease, Neurological disorder in addition to Tics. The study of Clinical psychology is intertwined with the study of Proband in a number of ways. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Placebo and Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Psychiatry (35.97%)
  • Tourette syndrome (22.09%)
  • Tics (17.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Psychiatry (35.97%)
  • Clinical psychology (17.01%)
  • Tourette syndrome (22.09%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Psychiatry, Clinical psychology, Tourette syndrome, Tics and Pediatrics. His work in Psychiatry addresses subjects such as Cohort, which are connected to disciplines such as Cohort study. His Clinical psychology research incorporates themes from Psychological intervention, Epidemiology, Randomized controlled trial, Anxiety and Family history.

He works mostly in the field of Tourette syndrome, limiting it down to concerns involving Copy-number variation and, occasionally, Genome-wide association study. His Tics research includes themes of Movement disorders and Refractory. His studies in Pediatrics integrate themes in fields like Odds ratio, Prospective cohort study, PANDAS and Chronic Tic Disorder.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nurturing care: promoting early childhood development (449 citations)
  • Mortality in children, adolescents, and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a nationwide cohort study. (310 citations)
  • Practitioner Review: Engaging fathers – recommendations for a game change in parenting interventions based on a systematic review of the global evidence (289 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Psychiatry

James F. Leckman mostly deals with Psychiatry, Tourette syndrome, Tics, Clinical psychology and Pediatrics. His Psychiatry study incorporates themes from MEDLINE, Cohort and Increased risk. His work carried out in the field of Tourette syndrome brings together such families of science as Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Copy-number variation, Young adult and Physical therapy.

James F. Leckman has included themes like Neurodevelopmental disorder, Movement disorders, Severity of illness and Audiology in his Tics study. The Clinical psychology study combines topics in areas such as Randomized controlled trial, Pharmacotherapy, Epidemiology and Rating scale. His Pediatrics research integrates issues from STREPTOCOCCAL INFECTIONS, Swallowing, Vomiting, Neuropsychiatric disorder and Choking.
