Frederick Carl Redlich ("Fritz") (June 2, 1910 – January 1, 2004) was a psychiatrist and academic administrator.

In addition to his time as dean of the School of Medicine, Redlich was head of the department of psychiatry from 1950 to 1967.

"[3] Redlich is best known within the field of Community Mental Health for his groundbreaking study done in the late 1950s with sociologist August Hollingshead.

The outcome of the study demonstrated that the majority of people in the upper two social classes received insight or talking therapy which was non-bodily intrusive and took place in private settings.

Their treatment consisted primarily of constraint and intrusive methods ( such as cold packs, electroshock, and lobotomies).
