Abstract
Edith Jackson, one of the true pioneers in the fields of behavioral pediatrics and child psychiatry, died at the age of 82 on June 5, 1977, in Denver, in her sleep. She had been thoroughly active and well until her death. Edith Jackson was born in 1895, and received her B.A. from Vassar in 1916 and an M.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1921. After a two-year internship, first in medicine and then in pediatrics, she was prominent with Dr. Martha Eliot in developing the New Haven rickets study for the U.S. Children's Bureau between 1923 and 1928 while she held the rank of an instructor in pediatrics at the Yale University School of Medicine.
