Alan A. Stone

[5] He graduated from Harvard College in 1950, where he majored in psychology and played on the Varsity Football team.

He wrote about decisions in psychotherapy in managed care, and about psychiatric treatment of oppressed minorities such as the Falun Gong and Soviet Jews.

[11][12] In the Western view, the ethical compass of Soviet psychiatrists began to wander when they acted in the service of this greatest beneficence.

The only time he ever served as an expert psychiatric witness was in mock trials of Shakespeare's Hamlet conducted by United States Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

The trials were an exercise in the use of insanity defense, and Stone served as prosecution witness, showing that Hamlet was sane when he murdered Polonius.
