Résumé
Anke A. Ehrhardt is a researcher in the field of sexual and gender development of children, adolescents, and adults. Her research has included a wide range of studies on determinants of sexual risk behavior among children, adolescents, heterosexual women and men, and the gay population, and on comprehensive approaches to preventing HIV and STD infection. Ehrhardt is the Founding Director of the HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University, where she has had a particular focus on research and advocacy for female-controlled methods of HIV prevention.
Presently, Ehrhardt is the Vice Chair for Academic Affairs and a professor of Medical Psychology in the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University. She is also research division chief for HIV and director of the HIV Center, and in addition, she has been a trustee on the board of directors of the Ford Foundation since 1999.
A native of Hamburg, Germany, Ehrhardt completed a doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Düsseldorf in Germany based on her pioneering work at Johns Hopkins University in the field of human gender and sexual development under the mentorship of sexologist John Money. With Money, she co-authored Man & Woman, Boy & Girl: Gender Identity from Conception to Maturity, a landmark 1972 book in the field of sexuality studies. She was subsequently co-director of the Program of Psychoendocrinology at Children's Hospital, State University of New York at Buffalo. Throughout this period, Ehrhardt has also been a practicing clinical psychologist, working in particular with children with intersex variations and their parents.
Ehrhardt arrived at Columbia University in 1977, and in 1987 founded the HIV Center with what was then the largest single grant ever awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Over its more than 20-year history, the HIV Center has conducted groundbreaking work in behavioral research both in the US and abroad.
