Emily Hartshorne Mudd, SW'36, Gr'50, Hon'72, emeritus professor of psychiatry and a nationally recognized pioneer in family unit planning, marital-therapy, and the written report of human sexuality, on May one, 1998, at the age of 99 years. Dr. Mudd was credited by one historian with playing "a role in the development of wedlock counseling in the U.s. coordinating to that played by [Margaret Sanger] in contraception."
She remained professionally active well into her eighties, writing articles and seeing clients one time a week at her home or at her office in the Mudd Suite at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, established in 1975 when the University created the Stuart and Emily B.H. Mudd Professorship of Human Behavior and Reproduction upon the decease of her first husband, Dr. Stuart Mudd, G'34, an internationally renowned microbiologist.
They helped found Pennsylvania's first nascency-control facilty in 1927 -- at the time, it was a crime to dispense nativity-control information in the state -- and the Union Council of Philadelphia in 1933. She was approached to serve as the centre's counselor, equally the search committee institute her intuitive insights and nonjudgmental mental attitude ideal, even though she lacked formal grooming; they said she could exist trained on the task. Under her management (1936-67), the council became the get-go in the country to establish a program to evaluate the effectiveness of counseling, and in the mid-1950s it was ane of three centers in the nation with an accredited preparation programme for marriage counselors. It was the first in the country to be affiliated with a medical schoolhouse.
Appointed an assistant professor of family unit report in psychiatry at Penn'due south Medical School, Emily Mudd was the third adult female to join that faculty. In 1954 she offered the first class at an American medical schoolhouse that dealt with sexuality; she was offered ii unattractive time slots -- belatedly on Friday afternoons -- but many students signed up anyway. "She was ane of the well-nigh remarkable women in Philadelphia," said Dr. Jonathan East. Rhoads, GrM'40, Hon'sixty, emeritus provost of the University and old chair of surgery; he noted that he had served on an academic- promotions committee to consider promoting her from assistant professor to associate professor: the committee decided instead to elevate her to full professor.
Throughout her career, population control and women's rights were her abiding concerns, not only in this state only throughout the world; for many years, Dr. Mudd was a member of the Pathfinder Fund, which sponsored birth-control projects in many countries. She wrote three of the basic marriage-counseling textbooks -- The Practice of Marriage Counseling, Man And Wife: A Sourcebook of Family Attitudes, Sexual Behavior, and Marriage Counseling, and Success in Family Living -- and helped Alfred Kinsey edit Sexual Beliefs in the Human Female person. In the mid-1950s, she began working with Masters and Johnson as a consultant on counseling techniques and later served on the board of the Masters and Johnson Found in St. Louis. In her seventies, she commuted monthly to their center to train doctors in sex activity therapy. They said of her: "More than anyone else, Emily Mudd encouraged and helped shape the field of marriage and family-life education, and was among the first to address the dimension of sexuality as a vital factor in family-life care."
Although she enjoyed a long and varied career as a social scientist, she once recalled that her almost difficult assignment was in 1972, when she was appointed co-chair of an all-women commission charged with reviewing Pennsylvania's restrictive ballgame police. Subsequently spending half-dozen months traveling effectually the state property public hearings, the commission recommended revising the police so that abortion could be a matter of option. A few months later on, the U.S. Supreme Court followed suit.
Dr. Mudd retired as director of the union council and from her professorship in 1967. She was involved with the University in formal and volunteer roles for more than 60 years. She was recognized as Pennsylvania Mother of the Year in 1961, and elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1993. Her biography was prepared by the Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College as part of an oral-history project featuring women who were trailblazers in the field of family planning. Widowed in 1975, Emily Mudd married again in 1981.
