"The IOP is a school of King's College London. The IOP shares a great deal of its history with the Maudsley Hospital, with which it shares the location of its main building. Originally the "Maudsley Hospital Medical School", it changed its name to the Institute of Psychiatry in 1948 with Aubrey Lewis being appointed to the inaugural Chair of Psychiatry at the institute (which he held until his retirement in 1966). The Institute subscribes to a Statement of Common Purposes which states: "The Institute of Psychiatry and the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust work together...."--Wiki

Psychiatrist
Professor Sir Michael Rutter is a former (recent) Deputy
Chairman of the immensely wealthy Wellcome Trust (founded by the
Wellcome Foundation which is now Glaxo).
He is also one of the expert witnesses for Glaxo in the MMR litigation
(something he did not declare, for example, in the Honda/Rutter paper
denying MMR has any association with autism, but I do not see him before the GMC
over that)
Professor Sir Michael Rutter along with a troupe of psychiatrists now
or formerly associated with The Maudsley Hospital and The Institute of
Psychiatry at Kings have been working hard at telling the public autism is
solely genetic and denying there is a
world autism pandemic. .....Genetics
cannot account for the large rise we are seeing in autism since the mid 1980s.
So instead what we see are efforts by Rutter and the
King's Institute of Psychiatry other autism denialists to claim there is no
real rise in the prevalence of autism. This claim is unscientific and runs
counter to the facts documented in the formal literature.
The Institute of Psychiatry has or is home to more than its fair share
of doctors (psychiatrists mostly) who publish papers claiming autism is
genetic and denying there is an autism epidemic (the correct word is
pandemic - epidemics have far fewer victims). These doctors include Rutter,
Eric
Fombonne,
(now expert witness in the US in the thiomersal/autism
litigation when he had previously published nothing about it),
Simon Baron
Cohen. It is also home to controversial "Gulf War Syndrome" psychiatrist
Simon
Wessely, director of the Centre for Military Health Research at King's
College London and who had been claiming ME/CFS is not a physical condition
but a mental one contrary to the definition used around the world..... Rutter was also an expert witness in Malmo, Sweden in an MMR autism
case where the key question was whether
autism was solely genetic and not
environmental. Rutter's expert evidence was that it was genetic.
Sophia Wilson is
an example of an ME/CFS sufferer who died following this approach to
diagnosis, albeit not so far as I am aware a patient of any of the
psychiatrists or institutions I name here.
Also associated with The Institute of Psychiatry and the Maudsley is Dr Ben
Goldacre, who constantly attacks alternative medicine in The Guardian whilst
writing the "Badscience" column - yet Goldacre has no scientific
qualifications and does not tell everyone that he practises psychiatry - the
least successful branch of medicine in history and which has difficulty
finding two reliable pieces of science to rub together to support the wacky
quacky theories some of its proponents put out.
Rutter was also an expert witness in Malmo, Sweden in an MMR autism
case where the key question was whether

environmental. Rutter's expert evidence was that it was genetic.
