Dawes, Lydia M. Gibson
Dawes was the first child analyst and child psychiatrist at Children's Hospital, Boston. A graduate of William Smith College in 1918, she completed her MD at Yale Medical School in 1929. She developed an interest in psychotherapy, and moved with her husband, Daniel Dawes, to Vienna. They lived there from 1932-36, during which time Lydia was analyzed by Anna Freud. In addition, she worked in Allgemeine Krankenhaus and the Lazar Children's Clinic. When she left Vienna, she completed her analysis training at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. She graduated in 1940. In Vienna and Boston, she studied with Ernst Kris, Edward Bibring, August Aichhorn, Helene Deutch, and many others.
In Boston, Dawes was in the forefront of many of the activities of the growing psychoanalysis field. She worked at Children's Hospital (Boston, Mass.), Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital Center, Judge Baker Children's Center, and the Smith College School for Social Work. She became a senior child psychiatrist at Children's Hospital in 1968 and training psychiatrist emerita at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute in 1972. She died in 1990.
