Alfhild Tamm

Anna Alfhild Tamm (16 May 1876 – 1 November 1959), was a Swedish physician and the first female psychiatrist in Sweden.

Tamm opened a private practice in Stockholm after travelling to Berlin in 1909 to study psychiatry, neurology and speech pathology. She also visited Vienna on numerous occasions to study psychoanalysis with Helene Deutsch and Paul Federn. She argued that it was important to include teachers in the psychological needs of children and that teachers should be eligible for training in psychoanalysis alongside doctors. She died in 1959, leaving much of her estate to von Leth.
