Abstract: | Presents an obituary for E. L Phillips. Phillips's contributions are outlined, including his long-time interest in psychotherapy and child development. He published 21 books and over 200 articles on topics including writing therapy, brief treatment methods, expressive arts, and therapy delivery systems. Phillips's first systematic exposition on psychotherapy was his pioneering book, Psychotherapy: A Modern Theory and Practice (1956). He founded and endowed the School for Contemporary Education in Fairfax County, Virginia. One of the earliest schools to accept almost any physically or mentally challenged student, it stands as a memorial to his devotion to the education of all students.
