Helen Schucman
Helen Schucman, Ph.D. (July 14, 1909–February 9, 1981) was a research psychologist from New York City. Raised by Jewish but non-religious parents, Schucman had always had an interest in religion. From 1958 through 1976 she was a professor of medical psychology at Columbia University in New York. Helen Schucman is credited as co-author of The Retarded Child from Birth to Five : A Multidisciplinary Program for the Child and Family [1]. In his book Absence from Felicity: The Story of Helen Schucman and Her Scribing of A Course in Miracles, Kenneth Wapnick claims that Helen Schucman was once asked by Mother Teresa to work with mentally handicapped children in her Indian foundation. Helen Schucman is quoted as not accepting the offer.
