It publishes works that engage actively with contemporary debates related to mental health and, as such, are of interest not only to historians, but also mental health professionals, service users, and policy makers. With its focus on mental health, rather than just psychiatry, the series endeavours to provide more patient-centred histories. Although this has long been an aim of health historians, it has not been realised, and this series aims to change that. This series emphasises interdisciplinary approaches to the field of study, and encourages titles which stretch the boundaries of academic publishing in new ways.

Having served as a site for the sharing of data and methods between disciplines in the early twentieth century, scientists and historians have tended to view its legacy in terms of reduction and division - contributing distrust, even antipathy, between communities in the social and the biological sciences. Following the work of Erving Goffman, this paper will explore how eugenics has, as the epitome of “bad” or “abnormal” science, served as a “stigma symbol” in the politics of boundary work.

    DIFFERENTIAL MINDS: MASS INTELLIGENCE TESTING AND RACE SCIENCE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by Kate E. Sohasky A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland May 9, 2017 © Kate E. Sohasky All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Historians have argued that race science and eugenics retreated following their discrediting in the wake of the Second World War. Yet if race science and eugenics disappeared, how does one explain their sudden and unexpected reemergence in the form of the neohereditarian work of Arthur Jensen, Richard Herrnstein, and Charles Murray? This dissertation argues that race science and eugenics did not retreat following their discrediting. Rather, race science and eugenics adapted to changing political and social climes, at times entering into states of latency, throughout the twentieth century. The transnational history of mass intelligence testing in the twentieth century demonstrates the longevity of race science and eugenics long after their discrediting. Indeed, the tropes of race science and eugenics persist today in the modern I.Q. controversy, as the dissertation shows. By examining the history of mass intelligence testing in multiple nations, this dissertation presents narrative of the continuity of race science and eugenics throughout the twentieth century.

Not to be forgotten is the presence of a very special family member, Mr. Kitty, who silently and patiently witnessed all colors and shapes of my affective rainbow. Val Santiago Stanley has shown nothing but pure, altruistic friendship for which I will be forever grateful. The appreciation is extended to Val’s Goddesses Club and its members who passionately give to others in the community. Many thanks go out to Jackie and Julianne who, with true owl spirit and equipped with appropriate memorabilia, lent an open ear and heart at all times. Thank you to my committee who provided me with guidance and knowledge throughout my journey at Florida Atlantic University. Most of them I have known for nearly a decade, a timeframe that has allowed me to grow as an individual and professional. To Dr. Paul Ryan Peluso, my mentor and fellow Avenger, thank you for believing in me and allowing me to “act as if”; your metaphors helped me more than you will ever know. You are a great therapist and educator, and I admire your dedication to the profession.

  • Deinstitutionalization: Its Impact on Community Mental Health Centers and the Seriously Mentally Ill Stephen P
    Page 40 Deinstitutionalization: Its Impact on Community Mental Health Centers and the Seriously Mentally Ill Stephen P. Kliewer Melissa McNally Robyn L. Trippany Walden University Abstract Deinstitutionalization has had a significant impact on the mental health system, including the client, the agency, and the counselor. For clients with serious mental illness, learning to live in a community setting poses challenges that are often difficult to overcome. Community mental health agencies must respond to these specific needs, thus requiring a shift in how services are delivered and how mental health counselors need to be trained. The focus of this article is to explore the dynamics and challenges specific to deinstitution- alization, discuss implications for counselors, and identify solutions to respond to the identified challenges and resulting needs. State run psychiatric hospitals have traditionally been the primary component in the treatment of people with severe and persistent mental illness. For many years, individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) were kept out of the community setting. This isolation occurred for many reasons: a) the attitude of the public about people with mental illness, b) a belief that the mentally ill could only be helped in such settings, and c) a lack of resources at the community level (Patrick, Smith, Schleifer, Morris & McClennon, 2006). However, the institutional approach was not without its problems. A primary problem was the absence of hope and expecta- tion that patients would recover (Patrick, et al., 2006). In short, institutions seemed to become warehouses where mentally ill were kept for long periods of time with little expectation of improvement.

  • Standpoints on Psychiatric Deinstitutionalization Alix Rule Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degre
    Standpoints on Psychiatric Deinstitutionalization Alix Rule Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Alix Rule All rights reserved ABSTRACT Standpoints on Psychiatric Deinstitutionalization Alix Rule Between 1955 and 1985 the United States reduced the population confined in its public mental hospitals from around 600,000 to less than 110,000. This dissertation provides a novel analysis of the movement that advocated for psychiatric deinstitutionalization. To do so, it reconstructs the unfolding setting of the movement’s activity historically, at a number of levels: namely, (1) the growth of private markets in the care of mental illness and the role of federal welfare policy; (2) the contested role of states as actors in driving the process by which these developments effected changes in the mental health system; and (3) the context of relevant events visible to contemporaries. Methods of computational text analysis help to reconstruct this social context, and thus to identify the closure of key opportunities for movement action. In so doing, the dissertation introduces an original method for compiling textual corpora, based on a word-embedding model of ledes published by The New York Times from 1945 to the present. The approach enables researchers to achieve distinct, but equally consistent, actor-oriented descriptions of the social world spanning long periods of time, the forms of which are illustrated here. Substantively, I find that by the early 1970s, the mental health system had disappeared from public view as a part of the field of general medicine — and with it a target around which the existing movement on behalf of the mentally ill might have effectively reorganized itself.

  • Theorists and Theories of Child Development Learner Support Handbook
    Theorists and Theories of Child Development Learner Support Handbook Supporting the development of your career Introduction This information guide is designed to support the knowledge and understanding of child development, in particular the theories and theorists behind these. It details it looks at the seven most popular theorists and the research carried out by them to highlight the many fascinating ways in which children develop and learn Child development theories focus on explaining how children change and grow over the course of childhood. Such theories centre on various aspects of development including social, emotional and cognitive growth. The study of human development is a rich and varied subject. We all have personal experience with development, but it is sometimes difficult to understand: How and why people grow, learn, and act as they do. Why do children behave in certain ways? Is their behaviour related to their age, family relationships, or individual temperament? Developmental psychologists strive to answer such questions as well as to understand, explain, and predict behaviours that occur throughout the lifespan. In order to understand human development, a number of different theories of child development have arisen to explain various aspects of human growth. The guide covers the following theorists and details each of their theories: 1. Freud’s Psychosexual Developmental Theory 2. Erikson's Psychosocial Developmental Theory 3. Piaget's Cognitive Developmental Theory 4. Bowlby's Attachment Theory 5. Bandura's Social Learning Theory 6. Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory Supporting the development of your career Child Development Theories: A Background Theories of development provide a framework for thinking about human growth and learning.
