        History

        Norman S. Endler (1931-2003) was born on 2 May 1931 in Montreal, Quebec and educated at McGill University where he received his B.Sc. in Mathematics and Psychology in 1953 and his M.Sc. in Psychology in 1954. He continued his studies at Bet Berl College, Kfar Saba, Israel and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne where he received a PhD in Clinical Psychology in 1958. Endler was the youngest member of the original group of faculty hired by the newly founded York University in 1960 and was the last of this group to retire. He won numerous distinctions for his teaching and research contributions to the study of psychology and the social sciences and for his service to York University. He focussed his research in the areas of stress, anxiety and coping. In addition to authoring or co-authoring 8 monographs, 174 refereed articles, 66 book chapters, and 100 technical reports, Endler's writing about shock therapy and his own struggles with depression reached general audiences with the publication of his book "Holiday of Darkness: A Psychologist's Personal Journey Out of Depression". Over the course of his career, he supervised 29 Ph.D. and 35 M.A. candidates throughout their studies as well as serving as an administrator on several occasions for the Department of Psychology at York. When Norman Endler passed away on 7 May 2003, he was a Distinguished Research Professor (Emeritus) at York University.
