Description
Summary:This obituary highlights the life achievements of Ruth C. Cohn who was a psychotherapist, educator, and poet. She was born August 27, 1912, in Berlin, Germany, and died on January 30, 2010, in Dusseldorf, Germany. In the mid-1950s, Ruth began developing her creative group method called theme centered interaction (TCI). In 1966, along with her friend and colleague Norman Lieberman, she created the Workshop Institute for Living-Learning (WILL) for those interested in group leadership. She founded WILL–Europe in 1972. Ruth leaves behind a well-established organization called the Ruth Cohn Institute for TCI International, with headquarters in Germany. Her life and work have influenced the lives and work of many others on several continents, though most of her publications are in German. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
