Carl Binger
Carl Binger (1889–1976), AKA Carl A. L. Binger, was a 20th-century American psychiatrist. He wrote books and articles on a wide range of topics, including medicine and psychiatry, and testified in the trial of Alger Hiss.
Carl Alfred Lanning Binger was born in 1889, the son of Frances (née Newgass) and Gustav Binger. He had three siblings: Elsie Naumburg, Robert Binger, and Walter D. Binger. He graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1914.
In 1943, E. B. White consulted Binger, a pioneer in the field of psychosomatic medicine, during a nervous breakdown in the spring of that year.
In 1946, Binger was certified as a psychiatrist after deferral for insufficient training.
In the summer of 1951 he resigned his position of directing the two-million-dollar-endowed Mary Conover Mellon Foundation out of concern for the "sexual development of undergraduates in an atmosphere of supervision by matriarchy."
Binger's wife was a college classmate of Alger Hiss's future wife Priscilla at Bryn Mawr College. Binger himself was a friend of Louis Weiss, brother of Carol Weiss King. King was a member of the International Juridical Association, of which Hiss (and several others in the Ware group had been a member.
On August 17, 1948, The New York Times interviewed Binger during a conference on mental health and reported:
Professor Binger pointed to the "bugaboo of communism," which he said was now spreading a state of "neurotic anxiety" throughout the United States. Fanned largely by "big business" and by vote-getters, this "neurosis," Professor Binger added, has become confused in public minds with the "legitimate fears" of Russia and, under such conditions, he asserted, not only the people of the United States but also its leaders and policymakers are in danger of losing a rational, objective approach to world problems."
