MacRobert, Russell Galbraith (1890–1967)
MacRobert, Russell Galbraith (1890–1967)
Psychiatrist and neurologist with a special interest in parapsychology. MacRobert was born June 4, 1890, at London, Ontario, Canada, and studied at the University of Western Ontario (M.D., 1912) and the University of Toronto (M.D., 1916).
He was an associate neuropsychiatrist at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York (1922–41), a captain in the USNR Medical Corps during World War II, and afterward returned to Lenox Hill (1946–55). In 1955 he entered private practice and became an instructor in clinical neurology at New York University, Bellevue Hospital Medical Center, New York.
He was a member of the American Medical Association, American Academy of Neurology, American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and Academy of Religion and Mental Health, and a fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. His interest in intuition, clairvoyance, and mediumship prompted him to join the American Society for Psychical Research.
MacRobert published many articles on medical, psychiatric, and neurological subjects, as well as articles in parapsychology, including the chapter ‘‘Something Better than Reincarnation’’ in the book Reincarnation (1956) and the preface to R. DeWitt Miller’s book You Do Take It with You (1956).
He died on July 10, 1967, of cancer.
