Emil Gutheil

Emil Arthur Gutheil (January 21, 1889 – July 7, 1959) was a Polish-American psychiatrist specializing in human sexuality, music therapy, and psychoanalysis. He was a founder of the Association for the Advancement of Psychotherapy and editor of the American Journal of Psychotherapy.

Life and career

Gutheil was born in Poland and educated at the University of Vienna. He was neuro-psychiatrist at the University Clinic and served as personal assistant to Wilhelm Stekel. He co-founded the Active-analytic Clinic in Vienna, but emigrated with his wife to the United States in the late 1930s, fearing Nazi persecution. He served at the psychiatric clinic of Mount Sinai Hospital, New York. Gutheil edited Stekel's autobiography.

Gutheil died in New York City following a heart attack. The Gutheil Library at Baruch College and the Gutheil Memorial Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Psychotherapy are named in his honor.
