For a period during the late 1950s and 1960s, psychiatry attracted some of the most capable graduates of US medical schools. Intrigued by the conceptual interest of psychoanalytic theory, and the possibility of treatment via the couch, these students chose for residency departments of psychiatry that featured grounding in psychoanalysis. One of these was Joe Schildkraut, a 1955 summa cum laude graduate of Harvard College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year, and a 1959 cum laude graduate of Harvard Medical School.
