Frieda Fromm-Reichmann: a seminar in the history of psychiatry. III. Personal reminiscences of Frieda Fromm-Reichmann.

I should like to make a personal remark before offering this very brief sketch of Frieda Fromm-Reichmann's life and activities. When I started to put my notes together I experienced an extraordinary bewilderment: she had died on April 28, 1957. I had a reaction of disbelief--it can't possibly be a quarter of a century, because her influence has remained so active and alive, not only in the people who had actually known her but also in many younger colleagues, who have a sense of personal relationship to her.
