T. Berry Brazelton was born at Waco in 1918. His recorded nationality is United States. He trained at Princeton University and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.

His posts were held at Harvard University.
The recorded fields of work are pediatrician, pediatrics and child and adolescent psychiatry.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from United States matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
T. Berry Brazelton died in 2018, aged 100. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
