would continue to serve actively as a consultant. The Foundation continued to expand in the 1950s and 1960s, opening branches in Texas, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Arizona. In 1955 Devereux began professional training and research partnerships with several universities including the Teachers College of Columbia University, Pennsylvania State University, University of Pennsylvania, and Bryn Mawr College School of Social Work, among others. 1957 saw the introduction of the Devereux Institute for Research and Training, an initiative to expand professional training and research into the causes and treatment of certain psychological problems in children. In 1957, Devereux resigned as director of the Foundation. Professional acknowledgments In 1958 Devereux became the first non-medical person, and only the fourth woman to become an honorary member of the American Psychiatric Association. Devereux's only published paper was published in 1909 in The Psychological Clinic entitled, “Report of a Year’s Work on Defectives in a Public School.” Personal life In 1924, Devereux married James Fentress, a widower of one of her friends. She continued to be called Miss Devereux. Married 21 years, they maintained very private personal lives, despite collaborating in the affairs of the organization. A strong supporter of his wife's independence and presence as the President of Devereux, Fentress served as the organization's Vice President, overseeing finances as the organization grew in size and scope. Fentress died in 1943 and Devereux never remarried. Her family life in Pennsylvania centered on her brother, Robert's, children Mary Helena Devereux Scott and Richard Blyton Devereux, M.D. Devereux died November 17, 1975, at her home in Devon at age 90.
