ABSTRACT
The Wohlgemuths attended a number of meetings of the Medical Section of the Society, particularly when phobias were the topic of discussion. Sixteen women became members of the British Psychological Society between its foundation in 1901 and the massive expansion of membership in 1919. In the early days women constituted about 15 per cent of the membership, whereas today they are almost 75 percent. “The psychologist aims, as it were, at an aseptic treatment, whilst the psychoanalyst indulges in deliberate infection”. The surgeon was unable to remove the bullet but Adolf recovered sufficiently to attend the trial at the Central Criminal Court in September. Clemence Morellet was acquitted on the charges of wounding her husband with intent to murder or to do him grievous bodily harm, but found guilty of unlawful wounding, and sentenced to six months’ imprisonment. Burt used these data in his 1917 report to the London County Council on the distribution and relations of educational abilities.
