Harlow Keith Hammond Brodie (August 24, 1939 – December 2, 2016) was an American psychiatrist, educator, and former President of Duke University.
Born in New Canaan, Connecticut, Brodie attended the New Canaan Country School before studying chemistry at Princeton University and medicine at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Brodie graduated from Columbia University with an M.D. in 1965.
He completed an internship in internal medicine at the Ochner Foundation Hospital in New Orleans and a residency in psychiatry at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center.
In 1968, he joined the National Institute of Mental Health as a clinical associate.
Brodie taught at Stanford University from 1970 to 1974 and was chair of Stanford's Medical School Faculty Senate and director of the General Research Center.
Brodie received the A.E. Bennett Research Award from the Society of Biological Psychiatry, the psychopharmacology prize of the American Psychological Association, and the Edward A. Streck Award of the Pennsylvania Hospital and the University of Pennsylvania Health System. He served as president of the American Psychiatric Association and chaired the Board of Mental Health and Behavioral Medicine of the Institute of Medicine.
In 1974, Brodie moved to Duke University to become chair of the department of psychiatry, with the encouragement of Ewald "Bud" Busse, who was leaving the chairmanship to become dean of the School of Medicine. He was later named James B. Duke Professor of Psychiatry and Law. He was chancellor of Duke University in 1982, and became president of the university in 1985. He served as president from 1985 to 1993. After his term as president, Brodie continued teaching and clinical work.
