Emeritus Professor Colin Hindley of the Institute of
Education, University of London died on 12 May
following surgery for lung cancer, aged 76. He will be
remembered by many colleagues not only for his research
on child development and individual differences but also
for his personal support to individuals and organisations
concerned with child development, both in this country
and abroad. He was a founding Committee Member of
the International Society for the Study of Behavioral
Development and Advisory Editor for the Journal of
Human Development. His work as a founding member of
the Association of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and
Allied Disciplines from 1958 onwards ensured its strong
interdisciplinary base and a highly productive future.
Perhaps even more significantly, many would wish to
emphasise his particularly distinguished contribution as
the founding Psychology Editor of the Journal of Child
Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines from
1959–1969. In recognition of his long service to the
Association at so many levels, he was made an Honorary
Member on his retirement.
