FREDERICK H. ALLEN, M.D.-1890-1964

Presents an obituary Frederick H. Allen (1890-1964). Frederick H. Allen died January 15, 1964, at the age of 73 . An effective participant in all that he undertook, Dr. Allen continued a role of active leadership even into his last months, and in the face of a circulatory handicap which had restricted his activities over recent years. His important place in American and world child psychiatry was sufficiently documented by the honors that were accorded him and the organization responsibilities which were placed upon him. His clinic was one of the first in which a respect for the unique contribution of each of the professional disciplines determined case procedure. The clinical field of child psychiatry became firmly established with the development of effective techniques in psychotherapy with children. For those who knew him well admiration yielded to affection. He was respected and beloved throughout our field. With such a recent loss our recollections are crowded with a host of mutually shared experiences. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
