It is now 25 years since Frieda Fromm-Reichmann died--over 30 years since she published her only book. Principles of Intensive Psychotherapy. Most of those who now attend the presentations of the annual research award of the Academy or the annual lectures of the Washington School of Psychiatry, both of which are named in her honor, never saw her. It seems appropriate to ask whether she still speaks to us today, whether in any significant way she influenced the development of what is now common practice in our field.
