- DIED. Karl Menninger, 96, psychiatrist who brought mental
- therapy into the medical mainstream and transformed the
- nation's way of thinking about the mentally ill and criminally
- disposed; of cancer; in Topeka. An innovative maverick with a
- streak of curmudgeonliness, Menninger sometimes said he was
- "more Freudian than Freud," meaning that he took his lessons
- from direct observation of each unique mind. Menninger founded
- the Menninger Clinic in Topeka with his father and brother in
- the 1920s and spent the next five decades developing it into one
- of the world's most celebrated hospitals for the mentally ill.
