Abraham Low (1891–1954) was an American neuropsychiatrist noted for his work in establishing self-help programs for people with mental illness, and for his criticism of Freudian psychoanalysis.
In 1925 he was appointed as an instructor of neurology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and became an associate professor of psychiatry.
During this time he conducted demanding seminars with the staff and interviewed the patients with the most severe mental illnesses in the wards.
In 1936, Low's Studies in Infant Speech and Thought was published by the University of Illinois Press.
Low's three volumes of The Technique of Self-help in Psychiatric Aftercare (including "Lectures to Relatives of Former Patients") were published by Recovery, Inc. in 1943.
