Ben White's Manuscripts and Working Records, undated Return to Table of Contents Introduction Stanley Cobb, a seminal figure in several areas of neurology and psychiatry, has an especially solid reputation as a neuroanatomist and neuropathologist. Most important, he served as a catalyst for integrating the practice of neurology with psychiatry and for brining psychiatry into the modern hospital environment. In so doing, he not only introduced psychoanalysis into the medical school curriculum, he was also a pioneer in psychosomatic medicine. A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School (M.D., 1914), Cobb, save for postgraduate study at Johns Hopkins, service in World War I, and European tour as a Rockefeller fellow, spent his entire career at Harvard and in Boston, Mass. Rising from various junior posts to Bullard Professor of Neuropathology in 1926, he also was Chief of the Neurology

  • Operational Criteria in Our Work
    MANDEL COHEN You said when you went out to give a talk in St Louis, they said to you “Hey you really should have the credit for DSM III” – but your reaction was that you felt it might be better to look for who was to blame for DSM III. When did you go out to St Louis to give the talk? It would have been at the time that Eli Robins was awarded an honorary degree – more than 15 years ago. I’ve given several talks out there. As a matter of fact, although I never worked there, they look on me as a founder of their psychiatry department because Eli Robins worked with me when he was a resident in neurology and psychiatry. He was a very smart boy I can tell you. He went out there eventually. They gave him a lowly job. The department was half-psychoanalytic at the time but he cleared the psychoanalysts out completely and then trained some younger people who took over departments here and there. At one time in the early 1960s, there were according to William Sargant, only two people with professorships in the whole country who were not psychoanalysts. Eli Robins and me. Most departments wouldn’t have anybody who wasn’t a psychoanalyst. You can’t prove this but it’s true. At that particular gathering, I outlined what we had done and the place for what were later called operational criteria in our work. We did research on hysteria and manic depressive disease but especially on anxiety neurosis for the Armed Forces – this is a condition that’s also called neuro-circulatory asthenia, Da Costa’s syndrome, soldiers heart, effort syndrome, irritable heart.

  • What Psychiatry Left out of the DSM-5
    Edward Shorter is one of the greatest historians of health care alive today, and maybe the most gifted writer on the topic. In this seminal book, Shorter manages not only to bridge the gap between scholar and clinician, but also to make a convincing case that psychiatrists have a lot to learn from the history of their own field. Ian Dowbiggin, PhD, FRSC, History Department, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Every scientific field grinds to a halt from time to time and psychiatry is cur- rently stuck in a cul- de-sac. This is when forgotten or inconvenient observa- tions from the past can provide the best way forward. In What Psychiatry Left Out of the DSM- 5, Edward Shorter gives us a series of cornerstones that will have to be included in any new building if it is to stand. This book offers food for thought and is a great read. David Healy, author of Pharmageddon; Professor of Psychiatry, Bangor University, UK Arguing that recent DSM “knowledge destruction engine” classification systems have been catastrophic for psychiatry, Edward Shorter’s polemic is written with a brio- fired challenge. If psychiatry has lost the plot in classify- ing psychiatric diseases, why not have a model provided by a historian? His “remembrance and respect of things past” model builds on the wisdom of the consensual experiences clinicians accumulated over the centuries. Here, Shorter demonstrates his masterful and profound capacity to intertwine chart- ing the history of psychiatric classification with critical appraisal. This is a book to be read by all who wish to understand psychiatry’s historical territory and consider a stimulating and provocative alternative road map.
