Edna Yates Oakeshott (B. February 26, 1904 - D. October 16, 1999) was an English Child Psychologist who served as a senior lecturer at the University of London, Child Development Department of the Institute of Education. [1] In 1949, she was invited to develop an 'Advanced Course for teachers in the Education of Maladjusted Children.' After years working as an Educational Psychologist in Child Guidance Clinics and as a psychoanalyst in child therapy, Dr. Oakeshott believed that children's troubles could be alleviated by specially trained teachers in the classroom. The course was the first of its kind. [2]

Dr. Edna Oakeshott, OBE, was one of the earliest members of the Association for Child Psychology and Psychiatry. When Dr. Oakeshott retired from the Institute she was awarded the OBE for her services to Education of Maladjusted Children.[3] Starting in 1961 and continuing for three years, Dr. Oakeshott wrote a column in The Observer (a Sunday Newspaper) on family life and its impact on a child's future.
