Carol Jeffrey (31 October 1898 – 6 November 1998) was an English psychotherapist, known for working with children and being one of the original staff members at Open Way Association, which was a group that performed psychotherapy in a revolutionary way.
[2] Once she received her postgraduate diploma in individual psychology, she began working in the field of child guidance.
[1] Located in West London, the Open Way was not limited to any one approach or dogma and for that it received criticism from "establishment" institutions.
Still its highly qualified staff held the course of treatment intact and the practice continued until the early 1970s with Jeffrey serving as a leading consultant.
[2] 1997: Jeffrey received the Gradiva Award for best book in the Childhood Related section from the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis in the United States.
