Biographical Note:
Ives Hendrick was born in 1898 in New Haven, Connecticut, to Bertha and
Burton Hendrick. Ives was his mother's maiden name. In 1918 he entered
Catholic University and then was admitted to Yale, where he
studied pre-medical courses and went to medical school. Hendrick
began his professional career as a medical service house-officer in New
York at Lennox Hill Hospital
under the chief resident, Carl Reich. By 1926, he had moved to
Boston
to work at the Boston Psychopathic Hospital. Soon Dr. Chapman of the
Sheppard and Enoch Pratt
hospital in Baltimore persuaded Hendrick to join the medical
staff, so he moved again to Baltimore, MD, where he stayed from 1927
until 1928. In 1928 Hendrick traveled to Europe, and was analyzed by
Dr. Alexander in Berlin. In the next two years he studied at the
Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. Hendrick returned to Boston in 1930,
helped co-found the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute and became its
elected president (he returned to the presidential role at BPI from
1946 to 1947). At the same time he was also president of the American
Psychoanalytic Association, joined the Harvard Medical School teaching
staff, was an analyst at McLean hospital, and a consultant for the
Massachusetts General Hospital. Besides countless articles and papers,
Hendrick published three books: Facts
and Theories (1934, 1939, 1958), Birth of an Institute
(1961) about the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute, and Psychiatry Today
(1964).
Summary: The
majority of this large collection (57 boxes) consists of
correspondence: professional, general, and personal. There are also
teaching records, manuscripts, reprints, professional organization
records, research and photographs. Most records were compiled by Ives
Hendrick and given to BPSI Archives by his family after his death in
1972. Later additions include photographs and papers given by Dr.
Sanford Gifford in 2006, and over forty letters of S.
Spafford Ackerly
donated by Dr.
William C. Ackerly
in 2007. Due to the collection size, the papers are grouped into nine
Series (see Finding Aid below). Please note that the BPSI Archives also
holds an interview with Ives
Hendrick recorded in 1962 (see Audiovisual
Materials, audio cassette 397), and a separate collection of
Burton J. Hendrick, Ives Hendrick's father.
