Albert Deutsch

Albert Deutsch (1905–1961) was an American journalist and social historian.
==Life==
Deutsch was born on the lower East Side of New York City to immigrant parents. He attended public schools but dropped out of high school and for a number of years he traveled throughout the United States supporting himself by working as a longshoreman, a farm worker, and a shipyard worker. He continued to educate himself in biography and history by visiting public libraries.
He returned to New York City in the early 1930s. In 1934, he secured a position as an archivist-researcher with the New York State Department of Public Welfare, which was writing a history of the welfare period from 1867 to 1940. The book was published in 1942. While researching for this book, he found material about the public care of the mentally ill and he approached the National Foundation for Mental Health (part of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene) with a proposal to prepare a history of psychiatry in the United States. He proposed to co-author the book with Clifford Beers, Secretary of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene and the author of the acclaimed book ''The Mind that Found Itself'', published in 1909. The relationship between Deutsch and Beers was stormy. In the end, the book ''The Mentally Ill in America: A History of Their Care and Treatment from Colonial Times'' was published in 1937 with Deutsch the author. The book was widely accepted by both lay and professional audiences and still considered the first substantive history of American psychiatry up to that time.
Deutsch had a successful career as a social historian and as a journalist. From 1941 to 1947, he was a columnist for the ''New York Post'', writing on social aspects of health care. Later, he published several books based on his columns. In 1945, he wrote about the care of veterans in the Veterans Administration hospitals. In 1948, his book ''The Shame of the States'' exposed the conditions in state mental hospitals. In 1950, he wrote ''Our Rejected Children'', and in 1955, ''The Trouble with Cops''.
Deutsch’s work won him numerous accolades. In 1945, he received the Heywood Broun award for his newspaper work. In 1947, the Newspaper Guild honored him as a distinguished humanitarian in American journalism. In 1948, he was elected to the Innominate Society (Louisville, Kentucky, and the predecessor of the New York Society for the History of Medicine). In 1949, he received the Albert Lasker Award presented by the National Committee against Mental Illness. The American Psychiatric Association bestowed upon him an honorary membership in 1958.
In 1956, he received a grant from the National Association for Mental Health; later supplemented by funds from the National Institute of Mental Health to prepare a survey of mental health research in the United States.
Deutsch died in 1961 in England while attending a conference.
