Marianne Whittaker (1922-2011).

摘要

Marianne Whittaker was an educational psychologist and member of the BPS, DECP and AEP for a number of years during the 1970s and 80s. She trained relatively late in her life, having obtained her BA Hons Psychology at Durham in 1971 and her MSc at Newcastle University in 1973 when she was 51 years old. She was proud of achieving her ambition, especially as she had struggled against odds such as not having her Finnish qualifications as a social worker recognised in the UK. She had to start over by taking O- and A-levels part-time and then train as a teacher and educational psychologist whilst raising a family.
