Making a Difference since 1924

Stefan de Schill

Dr. Stefan de Schill in Vienna, circa 1938


"This Foundation is one of the finest examples of what American humanitarianism can achieve—a perfect blending of knowledge, charity, and hope."
James A. Foley, Surrogate, New York County
"There are three basic factors in daily existence that are utterly incomprehensible to us: time, because it is eternal; space, because it is infinite; and our consciousness, because it defies all explanation."
Dr. Stefan de Schill
  • At least fifty percent of all people seeking medical treatment are suffering from emotional disturbances, but only three cents of every medical dollar is spent on emotional illness.
  • "The anxiety and problems other people suffer when caught up in a major crisis, we have to face day by day."—a patient
  • Twenty-seven million Americans will be victims of emotional breakdown and spend at least part of their lives in an institution.
  • Less than two percent of those suffering from deep-rooted emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, and phobias will ever obtain competent professional help bringing about lasting results.
The American Mental Health Foundation (AMHF) is a research organization, incorporated in New York State, dedicated to the welfare of people suffering from emotional problems, including the special needs of the disabled and elderly. AMHF is affiliated with the International Institute for Mental Health Research, Zurich and Geneva. The major therapeutic advances and improved training techniques of AMHF are described in its publications, a portion of which are included on this Web site.
