Abstract

Presents an obituary for Dennis "Denny" Drotar (1945-2017). Denny was a brilliant and revered scholar who authored more than 350 papers, eight books, and many chapters that serve as a foundation for the field of pediatric psychology. Editor of the Journal of Pediatric Psychology from 2007-2013, he served as president of the Society of Pediatric Psychology (SPP), Division 54 of the American Psychological Association (APA), and was the first psychologist to serve as president of the Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Denny spent his career in academic medical centers, including Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, MetroHealth Medical Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and Boston Children's Hospital. He "semi-retired" in 2014 but continued to be involved in research and training until his death. (PsycINFO Database Record
