Ruth Tiffany Barnhouse (October 23, 1923 – May 5, 1999), also known by her married name Ruth Beuscher, was a French-born American psychiatrist, theologian, and Episcopal priest.
Best known for being the psychiatrist of Sylvia Plath, she corresponded with her since they met at McLean Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts following Plath's breakdown in 1953.
Though Plath destroyed most of their letters, fourteen from Plath to Barnhouse remain (not including the two from Barnhouse to Plath in the Sylvia Plath papers at Smith College).
