Vamık D. Volkan, M.D. (born 1932) is an emeritus professor of psychiatry at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. He is also the Senior Erik Erikson Scholar at the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, an emeritus training and supervising analyst at the Washington Psychoanalytic Institute, and a past president of both the International Society of Political Psychology and the Virginia Psychoanalytic Society.

He was born in 1932 in Nicosia, Cyprus.

For nearly three decades, Dr. Volkan has led interdisciplinary teams to various trouble spots around the world and has brought high-level “enemy” representatives together for years-long unofficial dialogues. His work in the field has resulted in his developing new theories about large-group behavior in times of peace and war. He has authored or coauthored more than thirty books and has edited or coedited ten more.

In 1987, Vamik Volkan founded and until 2002 directed Center for the Study of Mind and Human Interaction (CSMHI) at the University of Virginia School of Medicine.

His most recent book is Killing in the Name of Identity: A Study of Bloody Conflicts (2006).
