Lucy Freeman

Lucy Freeman was a reporter and author who focused on psychiatry and mental health. Her works, ranging from detailed studies of Freud to essays on the sources of anger and anxiety, helped familiarize a popular audience with subjects that had long been taboo. She chronicled her own experiences with psychoanalysis in a book that became a bestseller and remained in print for decades. Freeman's writing broke the silence around psychotherapy, making it accessible to the public.
