Professor J. Pierre Loebel was born in Romania, schooled in Palestine and England, studied philosophy and experimental psychology at Oxford University, followed by medical school in South Africa, and psychiatry at The Bethlem Royal and Maudsley Hospitals, London. Influenced by the teaching and training of Alwyn Lishman, Michael Shepherd, and Isaac Marks and influenced by their wide ranging patient formulations, he developed his interest in bio-psychosocially oriented clinical practice. Specializing in geriatric psychiatry and team based care in Long Term Care institutions, he moved after some years into private practice using the full range of bio-psychosocially oriented evaluation and treatment modalities, in tune with the aphorism ascribed to Hippocrates that “it is insufficient to understand the nature of the illness that the patient has but to understand the nature of the patient that the illness has.”
