Frederik van Eeden
Died in 1932
Frederik van Eeden was born on 3 April 1860 in Haarlem. A physician, he was the first Dutch psychiatrist known beyond the country's borders and one of the first in the country to practise psychotherapy; the term lucid dream is owed to him. Co-founder of the journal that carried the literary generation of 1880, he wrote novels, poems, plays and essays, founded in 1898 an agricultural colony modelled on Thoreau, which failed, drew close to the anarchists, then entered the Catholic Church in 1922. He died in Bussum on 16 June 1932.
