Victor Goertzel (July 22, 1914 – May 23, 1999) was an American psychologist, author, and activist who stood up for Japanese internees in the United States during World War II.[1] He wrote the book Cradles of Eminence in 1962 with his wife Mildred[2][3] about the childhoods of accomplished people.[4] Ted Goertzel is their son.[5] He was a civil libertarian.[6]
Goertzel was born in Chicago and moved with his family to New York City. He was expelled from high school for expressing support for the U.S.S.R.[7] Goertzel graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in psychology in 1938. He received a doctorate in clinical psychology in 1953.[7] Victor and Mildred Goertzel contributed to Ted and Ben Goertzel's book on Linus Pauling.[8]
