Wertham's first book, published while he was Associate in Psychiatry at the Phipps Clinic, in which after surveying the history of ideas about body types in medicine and psychiatry he applies Kretschmer's categories to psychotics and prepsychotics. Hesketh, whom Wertham married in the latter 1920s, was a gifted artist then studying biology and medicine as the Charlton Fellow in Medicine at Hopkins. Wertham became famous in 1954 for linking comic books to violence and delinquency in his notorious Seduction of the Innocent.Wertham (here still using his German birth name) would be a significant figure in the history of American psychiatry and in American culture even without Seduction of the Innocent. He organized the first American clinic to provide psychiatric screening for all convicted felons. One of the first psychiatrists to testify on behalf of indigent black defendants in criminal trials, he founded in Harlem in 1946 the Lafargue Clinic (with a volunteer multi-racial staff), which played an important role in promoting civil rights for Afro-Americans and in providing psychiatric services for the poor. He published the first study of the effects of segregation on both white and black children ("Psychiatric Observations on Abolition of School Segregation" [Journal of Educational Sociology Vol. 26 No. 7, pp. 333-336]). His paper played a pivotal role, first in discrimination cases argued in Delaware by Louis Redding, Jack Greenberg, and Thurgood Marshall, then in the epochal 1954 Supreme Court Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case. He published in 1932 the first study on the effects of mescaline (with Manfred Bleuler, "Inconstancy of the Formal Structure of the Personality: Experimental Study of the Influence of Mescaline on the Rorschach Test" [Arch. Neurol. Psychiatry 28, pp. 52-70). He pioneered in the use of insulin in psychotherapy; organized at Bellevue the first clinic in the USA to provide psychiatric screening for every convicted felon; developed the mosaic test; and stressed the importance of both nature & nurture in criminal behavior. His first forensic book, the 1941 Dark Legend: A Study in Murder, both tied an actual murder case to important psychological types in literature and stressed the signficance of the mother in psychological development.
Willemse was lecturer in psychology at the University of Pretoria.
