Wasyl Nimenko was born in Ipswich, England. His mother was from Tubbercurry in the west of Ireland, his father from Dnipropetrovsk (now Dnipro) in central Ukraine. After studying medicine in London from 1974-1979, he began training and working as a psychiatrist. He worked at the 2,200 bed St Bernard’s Hospital (previously known as the ‘Hanwell Insane Asylum’ and the ‘Hanwell Pauper and Lunatic Asylum’) but left psychiatry because of the overemphasis on the chemical causes and treatments of mental health problems. He left psychiatry to train as a GP and a psychotherapist. From 1982 - 1991 he worked with survivors of torture. He worked independently, in the NHS, with the homeless and also with the emergency services and the armed forces. In 1984 Wasyl Nimenko researched the stress of using virtual reality for Xerox among the first users of the Xerox Star, technology which has since become the standard in personal computers. In 2011 he carried out research into the use of archaeology in the psychological decompression of wounded soldiers, a service which is now available internationally to the armed forces as ‘Operation Nightingale.’ In 2013 he researched Post Repatriation Stress Disorder which was first described in 2015. Although Wasyl Nimenko’s professional activities have chiefly been in the UK he has also lived and worked in India, New Zealand and Australia. At present his main interest is in uncovering, recognising and realising our natural happiness.
