Dr Saxty Good, O.B.E., M.R.C.S

We regret, further, to record the death of another pioneer in psychiatry?Dr Saxty Good?who made such a distinctive contribution to Mental Health work in Oxford during his long years of service as Medical Superintendent of the City and County Mental Hospital.

His Clinic for Nervous Disorders at the Radcliffe Infirmary (opened in 1918) was one of the first of its kind. He co-ordinated in the City the work connected with the care of mental defectives, and the Child Guidance Clinic instituted later in co-operation with the City Education Committee owed its existence largely to his efforts.

Dr Good was for many years a member of the Child Guidance Council and of the National Council for Mental Hygiene and has served on their Committees. He served also on the committee of the Institute for the Scientific Treatment of Delinquency.
