In the history of medicine, Jeanne Lampl-de Groot is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Jeanne Lampl-de Groot as Dutch psychiatrist & psychoanalyst (1895-1987).
Jeanne Lampl-de Groot was born at Schiedam in 1895. Her recorded nationality is Netherlands. She trained at Leiden University and University of Amsterdam.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, laboratory medicine, vaccines and public health began to change mortality at population scale.
The recorded fields of work are psychiatry.
The test of medical work is whether practice changed, not whether the argument was elegant.
That the work was done from Netherlands matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Jeanne Lampl-de Groot died in 1987, aged 92. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
