Lightner Witmer
Lightner Witmer (June 28, 1867 – July 19, 1956) was an American psychologist who is credited with the introduction of the term and the founding of "Clinical Psychology." Witmer also founded the world's first "Psychological Clinic" in the United States at the University of Pennsylvania in 1896, as well as the first journal of clinic psychology and first clinical hospital school in 1907.
Witmer contributed greatly to numerous branches of psychology including school psychology and clinical psychology. He also contributed to the development of the field of special education. However, despite all of his contributions to psychology Witmer is one of the least well-known figures in the entire discipline.
Little is known about Witmer's life. He is described as being an introverted person who limited the information he shared about his personal life.

Lightner Witmer was born in Philadelphia on June 28, 1867. He was born David L. Witmer Jr. but at the age of 50, he changed his name to Lightner. Witmer was born to a devout Catholic mother and father, David Lightner was a Germantown pharmacist who graduated from a Philadelphia College in 1862, and Katherine Huchel, about whom little is known.

Later in life, Lightner Witmer was a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania. His siblings also did well for themselves, Ferree his brother obtained his physiology doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, his sister Lilly Evelyn received her bacteriology medical degree in Berlin, and the youngest sibling obtained a doctoral degree in Pharmacy.〔Thomas (2009)〕 By the end of 1905, Lightner Witmer and all his siblings had become doctors in a range of science careers.
