Memorial service for Dr. Frederick Redlich

There will be a memorial service on Friday, Oct. 15, in honor of Dr. Frederick (Fritz) Carl Redlich, former dean of the School of Medicine and professor emeritus of psychiatry.

The Department of Psychiatry has organized the commemorative event, which will feature remarks by Dr. Redlich's colleagues and friends, including the department's chair, Dr. Benjamin S. Bunney; Yale professors Dr. Gerhard H. Giebisch, George F. Mahl, Dr. Louis B. Fierman and Ernst Prelinger; and Dr. David A. Hamburg, president emeritus of the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

The service will be held at 5:15 p.m. in the auditorium of the Connecticut Mental Health Center, 34 Park St.

Dr. Redlich, whose research was a major influence on the field of social psychiatry, is credited with revitalizing Yale's Department of Psychiatry in the 1940s and leading it to national eminence. As medical school dean, he worked to strengthen and consolidate the basic science departments of the school, establish a new Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry and create a new program of medical education. His books include "Social Class and Mental Illness" (with Yale sociologist August Hollingshead), the textbook "Theory and Practice of Psychiatry" (with Dr. Daniel Freedman) and his recent biography, "Hitler: Diagnosis of a Destructive Prophet."
