About This Item
Banay's four signed letters are addressed to Freudian psychiatrist and criminologist Dr. Arthur N. Foxe. In the initial letter Banay complains that in the current state and federal government debates on the problem of crime and its solution doctors "are pushed out of the picture because they are not vocal and have no organization behind them." Banay believes a new organization should be formed "I would suggest the title of The American Association of Physicians, Psychologists and Social Workers Concerned with Crime, Its Causes, Treatment and Prevention, Inc. It should be a top notch group which would be effective enough to reach federal and state government authorities...." Foxe writes back approving of the idea but suggesting the organization's title should be shortened. The other signed letters follow up on this proposal. The additional unsigned carbon copies, on the same subject, are to Nathan K. Rickles and Maier I. Tuchler of the Medical Correctional Association
