William Alwyn Lishman (16 May 1931 – 24 January 2021)[1] was a British psychiatrist and neurologist most famous for writing Lishman's Organic Psychiatry, a neuropsychiatry textbook and standard reference for over thirty years in its field.[2] Publishing company Blackwell had sought out Lishman to write the textbook, though he was reluctant until one day he wanted to buy a grand piano, which he did with an advance on the book.[3]
