He ran the drug addiction program at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Washington after which he entered private practice. During the more than 25 years that Dr. Tamarkin practiced psychiatry, he gained a reputation for his ability to help prominent political and entertainment figures deal with their many stresses. Dr. Tamarkin died in January 1999. This biography was excerpted from the NYTimes obituary. http://www.nytimes.com/1999/01/11/classified/paid-notice-deaths-tamarkin-norman-r.html.
