Franklin | Marjorie Ellen

Marjorie Franklin was born on 17 Dec 1887. She trained as a psychiatrist but became interested in psychoanalysis in the mid 1920s and travelled to Vienna where she was analysed by Sandor Ferenczi. On returning to London she established the Institute for the Scientific Study and Treatment of Delinquency (later the Portman Clinic) with fellow psychiatrists and psychoanalysts Edward Glover, Grace Pailthorpe and Melitta Schmideberg. In the 1930s she set up Q Camps for maladjusted men and boys and was Honorary Secretary of the Q Camps Committee. Her interest in anti-social behaviour led to her long-term involvement with the Howard League for Penal Reform. She was also a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and founder of the Planned Environment Therapy Trust. She died in 1975.
