Dr. Ruth C. Cohn (August 27, 1912 – January 30, 2010) was a Jewish psychotherapist, educator, and poet. She is best known as the creator of a communication method called theme-centered interaction (TCI). She was the founder of the Workshop Institute for Living Learning (WILL), which is known today as the Ruth Cohn Institut for TCI.
[edit] Biography
Born in Berlin in 1912, Cohn grew up in Germany. In 1933, during the Third Reich, she fled to Zürich, Switzerland where she was admitted into the University of Zürich. At Zürich, she studied psychology and minored in pre-clinical medicine and psychiatrics. She completed additional studies in education, theology, literature and interaction.
In the first years after the development of TCI, its use grew rapidly in the United States. Today, however, TCI is virtually unknown in the United States, although it continues to be well-known and an important concept for educators, therapists, supervisors and managers in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, and India.
