'Emil Arthur Gutheil was a Polish-American psychiatrist specializing in human sexuality, music therapy, and psychoanalysis. He was a founder of the Association for the Advancement of Psychotherapy and editor of the American Journal of Psychotherapy.' 'Lisa Sergio was a radio news broadcaster in Italy under Mussolini who became a leading anti-Fascist broadcaster and one of the first women to have her own radio news commentary program. She was the only woman Variety included in its 1945 analysis of 30 popular radio news commentators. Lisa Sergio was born Elisa Maria Alice Sergio in Florence, Italy on March 17, 1905. Her father was Baron Agostino Sergio, a landowner and her mother was Margherita Fitzgerald, daughter of Charles Hoffman Fitzgerald of Baltimore, Maryland, and Alice Lawrason Riggs from Virginia. Her parents separated in 1910, after her father attempted to shoot her mother. In 1922, Sergio became an associate editor of the Italian Mail, the only English-language weekly in Italy, eventually becoming the assistant editor and then the editor. Known as "the Golden Voice of Rome," Sergio was one of the first women broadcasters in Italy. Having grown up speaking both Italian and English at home, Sergio translated Benito Mussolini's speeches into English on the air. By most accounts, she was supportive of Mussolini and fascism until at least 1937, but according to biographer Stacy Spaulding, when Sergio did convert to anti-fascism, her "conversion was authentic and heartfelt." In a note she wrote at the time, she remarked, "Human beings are not born knowing. They are endowed, from birth with the capacity to learn. They learn to walk, to talk. We must also learn how to be free." After moving to the US, Sergio worked for NBC. Frustrated because she believed that "NBC was not about to allow a woman to do news," Sergio began to work for local New York City station WQXR in 1939. Sergio became one of the first female news commentators on WQXR, developing her program, "A Column of the Air". A Column of the Air broadcast seven times a week from 1939 to 1946, when WQXR canceled all its news commentary. Sergio, who had been the subject of extensive FBI surveillance since she immigrated to the United States, was blacklisted by the American Legion in 1949 and listed in the anti-communist publication Red Channels in 1950.…
