Professor Roger Bartrop

Professor Roger Bartrop, is an academic psychiatrist, currently Professor of Mental Health, Blacktown – Mt Druitt Clinical School, University of Western Sydney, and Professor, Discipline of Psychiatry, Sydney Medical School-Northern at Adventist Hospital Clinical School. He trained in adult medicine, general pathology and paediatrics initially in Sydney and then undertook further paediatric training in London, before a late career change to consultation/liaison psychiatry in the London teaching hospitals. Further laboratory experience in some aspects of immunology and endocrinology followed his return to work at St Vincents Hospital, whilst completing his Doctorate of Medicine. He worked for 31 years in close partnership with general medical and surgical units in Sydney. As time permitted, he developed diverse research interests, which still include procoagulant, immunological and psychosocial aspects of severely stressful naturalistic states such as grief, as well as dimensions of smoking cessation, music therapy in acute psychosis, resilience in eating disorders and spinal injury, and many other psychophysiological research areas.
