Vic Meyer
British psychologist (died 2005)
Victor Campbell Meyer, or Vic Meyer, was a British psychologist at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School of the University of London (now UCL Medical School) and has been called the father of behavioral case formulation,[1] an approach toward understanding complex psychiatric problems using learning principles derived from scientific psychological research and uniquely adapted to the individual case by means of the experimental method[2] as a way to develop an effective intervention regimen.[3] Meyer is credited by the British Psychological Society for his influential work in creating case formulation[4] along with three other innovators:[5] Hans Eysenck, Monte B. Shapiro,[6] and Ira Turkat.[7] Turkat credited Meyer as the pioneer of the framework of what is generally known today as case formulation,[8] a required core skill for all British practicing psychologists since 2011.[5]
