Manfred Guttmacher
Manfred Schanfarber Guttmacher (May 19, 1898 – November 7, 1966) was an American forensic psychiatrist and chief medical officer noted for his connection of psychiatry and criminal law. Among several notable cases, Guttmacher testified in the trial of Jack Ruby, and authored "The Dog Must Wag The Tail: Psychiatry And The Law", "America's Last King: An Interpretation of the Madness of George III" and other works. Guttmacher was born in 1898 in Baltimore to Rabbi Adolf (Adolph) Guttmacher, and Laura (Oppenheimer) Guttmacher, German Jewish emigrants. Like his twin brother, Alan Frank Guttmacher, his A.B. and M.D. degrees were  earned from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, after which Manfred served as an intern at the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, then as a resident house officer in medicine at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. After two years an Emmanuel Libman fellow studying neurology, psychiatry, and criminology overseas, he relocated to Boston for psychiatric training at the Boston Psychopathic Hospital. He was appointed chief medical adviser to the Supreme Bench of Baltimore in 1930, where he served until his 1966 death from leukemia. In 1933, he published his first paper, "Psychiatry and the Adult Delinquent" in the National  Probation Association Yearbook of 1933 (on forensic psychiatry). He is seen as a contributor to the development of that field as attested by his books: He had four sons: including Dr. Jonathan Guttmacher of Boston Richard Guttmacher of Washington, and Alan Edward Guttmacher.
