The Portland doctor, known for work in the classroom and with the homeless, was also a psychiatrist
Dr. Howard Roberts Bagwell Jr., a psychotherapist and psychiatrist who was equally in his element counseling the homeless and teaching advanced-level courses on Freud, died Tuesday, Dec. 3, of a heart attack. He was 64.
Dr. Bagwell , known to family and friends as Bob, crossed over many traditional barriers in his field in his personal practice and teaching.
"He read in all the fields," said his wife, Anne Bagwell . "He really didn't love one more than the other."
His broad intellectual curiosity was clear in the classrooms of the Northwest Center for Psychoanalysis, where he was on the faculty, said Kirsten Schwanke, who co-taught with him on several occasions.
"He was an exquisite teacher," said Schwanke, a psychoanalyst. "As we talked about psychiatry or psychology, he would bring in new ideas from music and from literature. He disliked narrowness in any form or shape."
Dr. Bagwell was also a strong advocate for homeless and indigent people in need of mental health care, said Anne Bagwell . He often kept seeing patients whose insurance had run out or who did not have the means to pay him.
He was an avid martial artist who practiced kung fu and aikido. He meditated every day for the past 40 years, his wife said.
He was born Jan. 25, 1938, in Chicago and moved to Portland in 1976. He received his medical degree from the University of Chicago. He served in the Oregon Mental Health Division and as a consultant to the Oregon State Hospital's Child and Adolescent Secure Treatment Program.
In 1981, he became director of psychiatric training at Providence Medical Center. He served on the board of directors of Janis Youth Programs. He maintained a private practice in Portland and taught at the Providence Psychotherapy Center and Clinic.
He is survived by his wife; daughter, Elizabeth; and brother, Richard.
A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, in the Multnomah Art Center, 7688 S.W. Capitol Highway.
Remembrances to Morrison Center and Outside In.
