| Dr. Mary Solanto received
her undergraduate degree in psychology at Princeton University, a Masters
degree in neurobiology from Cornell Medical School, and her Ph.D. in
Clinical Psychology from SUNY at Buffalo. She interned in clinical child
psychology at Case Western Reserve Medical School and completed a
postdoctoral fellowship at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She
was Assistant Professor, and later Associate Professor, in the Division of
Behavioral Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College
of Medicine. Currently, Dr. Solanto is Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the AD/HD Center in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of the Department of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Her research on the cognitive and behavioral functioning of children with AD/HD and the effects of psychostimulants has been supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. She is active in the training of child psychiatrists and psychologists in the diagnosis, causes, and treatment of AD/HD and related disorders, and frequently conducts workshops with parent and teacher groups concerning identification and treatment of children with AD/HD. She has published numerous scholarly papers concerning AD/HD and is a frequent reviewer for professional journals. She is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Attention Disorders. She recently edited a book (with Amy Arnsten and Xavier Castellanos) titled Stimulant Drugs and ADHD: Basic and Clinical Neuroscience (Oxford University Press).
