Mildred Clare Scoville (1892-1969) was a psychiatric social worker who won a Lasker Award in 1949.
Early life
[edit]She was born in 1892[citation needed] in Hartington, Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska.[1] She later moved to England due the Commonwealth Fund of America requesting her for an experiment.[2] It was focused in clinics for children and had already been notable in the United States.
Career
[edit]Due to her background in social work, she felt fit for working for the Commonwealth Fund of America. As a result, she later led leading positions in developing mental health services back in the United States. Her professional life became involved in the mental hygiene movement. In 1931, she wrote “An Inquiry into the Status of Psychiatric Social Work”.[3]
In 1950 she was named to the National Advisory Mental Health Council, thereby becoming the first person to serve on the council.[4]
