LETTERS: Psychiatry/Psychology Legacy

By Caroline M. Cuse, None

To the editors:

Leon Eisenberg was a pioneering psychiatrist, [trained in both adult and child psychiatry,] and not a psychologist as your article erroneously implies. I am sure that Professor Kleinman–also a psychiatrist–did not tell your author that Dr. Eisenberg would leave a legacy in “psychology,” a very different discipline from the one to which Dr. Eisenberg made so many contributions. Attention to accuracy about the facts of this great man’s life would have been a more fitting tribute.
