Description: Dr. Pennington was one of the first female child and adolescent psychiatrists in Minnesota. She completed medical school during World War II, when there were more women in her class than in earlier years. She practiced part-time as a pediatrician while raising her family, then started psychiatric training in 1959. Although she initially worked with college students at the University of Minnesota Student Health Service, she later was part of a comprehensive child-adolescent group practice. In the interview, she reviews her practice experiences and treatment modalities.
