Mrs Katharine Whiteside Taylor, 91
of San Francisco

Katharine Taylor
San Francisco Chronicle (CA) β€” Saturday, February 25, 1989

Katharine Whiteside Taylor, a noted Jungian therapist and educator, died Thursday in her home in San Francisco. She was 91.

Mrs. Taylor was the founder in 1927 of the Children's Community, a parent-cooperative nursery school that was the first of its kind in the West. In 1960 she founded Parent Cooperative Nursery Schools International, which promotes the formation and operation by parents of nonprofit cooperative nursery schools. The school in Montreal, Canada, is named the Whiteside Taylor Center in her honor.

Mrs. Taylor was the author of two books, "Do Adolescents Need Parents?" published in 1938, and "Parent Cooperative Nursery Schools," published in 1967. She also wrote many articles for professional, religious and popular journals.

Mrs. Taylor joined the Walnut Street Friends Meeting in Berkeley in the 1930s and embraced the pacifist tradition of the Friends.

In recent years, Mrs. Taylor taught in the University of California Extension program and arranged and led conferences on Carl Jung.

She was born in Louisville, Ky., and came to the Bay Area in 1920 with her husband, Paul Schuster Taylor. He became a leading economist at the University of California. The marriage ended in divorce.

Mrs. Taylor earned a bachelor degree in 1919 from the University of Wisconsin and after her divorce earned a doctorate in education from Teachers College at Columbia University.

Her professional career included the position of administrator in child psychology for the Baltimore, Md., public-school system. She also spent a year in Zurich, Switzerland, researching the work of Jung, and another year as a Fulbright lecturer in Wellington, New Zealand.

Mrs. Taylor is survived by two daughters, Katharine Taylor Loesch and Margaret Taylor Fanger, and seven grandchildren.

A memorial Meeting for Worship will be held on March 18 at 11 a.m. at the Friends Center, 2160 Lake Street, in San Francisco.
