Henry A. (Gus) Buchtel, IV
University of Michigan
For distinguished contributions to the University of Michigan Chapter and the North Central Region of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society
Quote
"I have been an active member since I was inducted as a graduate student in the 1960s. Why? Because Sigma Xi is the only multidisciplinary international scientific society that honors and encourages new scientists regardless of discipline and that focuses on my core values in science: integrity, honesty, and ethics."
Biography
Henry A. (Gus) Buchtel received his BA (1964) degree from Dartmouth College and his MA (1965) and PhD (1969) degrees from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He carried out fundamental and applied research in Italy (Pisa: 1969–1972 and Parma: 1975–1978), England (London: 1972–1975) and Canada (Montreal: 1978–1980). He was appointed as a staff psychologist at the VA Hospital in December 1980 and as associate professor in the University of Michigan departments of psychiatry and psychology in February 1981.
Buchtel's teaching was in the clinical area of the Psychology Department (proseminar, psychological theory [brain and behavior], and research methods in clinical psychology), and in the Medical School. He was on numerous dissertation committees for doctoral candidates in clinical psychology, experimental psychology and biopsychology, as well as the in the departments of education and bioengineering, and Canadian departments of psychology in Waterloo and Windsor.
Buchtel's research interests include attention and memory, particularly in patients with seizure disorders. His clinical activities included assessment of visual, memory, and language disorders in patients with brain disorders, particularly epilepsy. He has published articles in psychology and medical journals on topics ranging from methodology to treatment, and chapters in books on psychological topics and epilepsy. Because of his fluency in Italian, he has served as a translator of biographies of the anatomist Camillo Golgi and a book on the negative reaction of neurological research into the mind (
Neurophobia
).
Buchtel was elected to Sigma Xi, The Scientific Honor Society as an associate member in 1965 and made full member in 1980; he was honored for 50 years of active membership in 2015 and has served on the Council of the University of Michigan Chapter as well as on the Society-wide Board of Directors. He is a Fellow of the Association of Psychological Science (2013) and the American Psychological Association (APA, 2015) and was a commissioner on the APA Commission on Accreditation (2012–2016). He has served site visitor teams for accreditation of psychology departments and postdoctoral training programs for the APA. He was made a member of the International Neuropsychological Symposium in 1977 and became a Fellow in 2007. At the University of Michigan he was an active member of the Clinical Area of the Department of Psychology and was on the Departmental and Clinical Area Executive Committees. He was acting chair of the Clinical Area (1992–93) and served on numerous dissertation committees, admission committees, and internal department committees. He was trained to be a counselor for alternative dispute resolution for the College of Literature, Science and the Arts at the University of Michigan. In the medical school, he served on the Appointments and Promotions Committee and co-chaired the Adverse Events Committee in the Psychiatry Department.
