| Leading Austrian phoniatrician, creator of the Vienna School of Phoniatrics. As a student of Hermann Gutzmann sen., he is one of the pioneers and founders of the specialty with emphasis on psychological perspectives. He established an ambulance for speech pathology at the otological clinic (director: Victor von Urbantschitsch) in 1909. He organized special courses for voice and speech/language pathology together with the pedagogue Karl Cornelius Rothe from 1921, and in 1924, he founded the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics in Vienna. Due to the changed political situation under the Nazi regime, Froeschels emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1938 and worked primarily with Max Goldstein in St. Louis. In 1940 he became the director of the Clinic for Voice and Language at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and in 1950 at Beth David Hospital. - „Lehrbuch der Stimm- und Sprachheilkunde“, Wien 1913; „Chewing method as therapy“, Arch.
