Judianne Densen-Gerber (November 13, 1934 – May 11, 2003) was an American psychiatrist, lawyer, and educator. She worked in the field of substance abuse rehabilitation, and campaigned against child abuse, domestic violence and pornography.[1]
Densen-Gerber founded Odyssey House, an organisation for drug and alcohol rehabilitation. She was accused of abuse and financial impropriety within the organization in 1979, and resigned in 1983 after agreeing to pay back $20,000 in excessive personal expenses.
She was born to Gustave Gerber, a chemical engineer and Beatrice Densen, an heiress. She graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1956, Columbia Law School (JD 1959), and New York University (MD 1963). Until 1997, she was married to pathologist Michael Baden. She died in her sleep from cancer.[1] At the time of her death, she was a resident of Westport, Connecticut.[2]
