Personal life and education

The daughter of Henry Falk, a real estate developer, and Stella (Hein) Falk, a poet, Rosalind (Falk) Dymond Cartwright was born in New York City on December 30, 1922.[1]

Her undergraduate and master's degrees were from the University of Toronto. She earned her Ph.D. with the dissertation, Empathic Ability, an Exploratory Study, at Cornell University in 1949.[2]

She was married four times, twice to the same man, Richard Dennis.[1] Her other spouses were William Dymond[3] and Desmond Cartwright.[4]

Rosalind Cartwright died in Chicago on January 15, 2021, at the age of 98.[1]

Career

Penelope Green of The New York Times wrote, "Nicknamed the Queen of Dreams by her peers, Cartwright studied the role of dreaming in divorce-induced depression, worked with sleep apnea patients and their frustrated spouses, and helped open one of the first sleep disorder clinics."[1]

Cartwright's early faculty career included two years at Mount Holyoke College and twelve years at the University of Chicago.[5] She built a sleep lab in 1962 at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, and studied REM sleep and dreaming. In 1977 she joined the faculty of the Graduate College at Rush University Medical Center, as chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences and later the Department of Psychology and the Neuroscience Division, and she founded the sleep disorder research and treatment center there.[1]

She became professor emerita in 2008 after stepping down from her position as chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences at Rush University Medical Center.[1]
