'Don D. Jackson' (1920-1968) was an American psychiatrist best known for his pioneering work in family therapy.
From 1947 to 1951 he studied under Harry Stack Sullivan. [1]
From 1953 to 1962 he worked with Gregory Bateson, John Weakland, Jay Haley and William Fry, developing thinking in the areas of family therapy, brief therapy, systems theory and communication theory. One of the results of this research was the development of the double bind theory of schizophrenia. [2]
In 1958 he founded the Mental Research Institute at Stanford University, and was its first director.[3]
