It is with great sadness that I am alerting the membership to
the loss of our esteemed colleague and personal friend, Dr.
Irving I. Gottesman. Dr. Gottesman passed away on
Wednesday, June 29, 2016, at the age of 85, at his home in
Edina, Minnesota. He will be remembered as a pioneer in
twin studies of psychopathology and personality, noted for
his landmark book, Schizophrenia and genetics: A twin
study vantage point (1972), co-authored with James
Shields. Over the years and until his passing, Gottesman
was a prolific investigator with over 300 papers and
chapters, as well as presentations, on twin studies of
personality, intelligence, psychopathology and epigenetics.
Gottesman was also responsible for establishing the
prestigious James Shields Lifetime Achievement Award for
Twin Research.
