Mildred Clare Scoville (1892-1969) was a psychiatric social worker who won a Lasker Award in 1949.
Early Life
editShe was born in 1892 and later moved to England due the Commonwealth Fund of America requesting her for an experiment. [1] It was focused in clinics for children and had already been notable in the United States.
Career
editDue 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 the highly influential work “An Inquiry into the Status of Psychiatric Scoail Work”.[2]
Recognitions
editDuring this time, she was awarded a Lasker Award for “recognition of her outstanding contribution to the integration of mental health concepts in medical education and practice”. [3]
