THE PLACE OF THE INDIVIDUAL IN COMMUNTTY HEALTH 357 BIBLIOGRAPHY 367 1 CHAPTER I: AN INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY HEALTH This dissertation reveals just how American public health professionals perceived themselves between 1915 and 1940, how they conceived of their expertise, and what they proposed to do with it. By examiiiing their own conclusions about the way things work or, alternately, do not work, the outlines of an entirely new way of practicing public health appear, described at the time as "community health." I wish to explore the process of invention and reinvention as it developed in the minds of the public health elite—those who by addressing particular problems in professional journals and books shaped the debate—and in the hands of those who implemented and lived with their decisions. This is not so much a dissertation revealing how public health professionals acted upon their professional debates (though illustrated in some detail in the chapters on health salesmanship and demonstrations). Rather, it emphasizes the debates themselves. It is essentially an intellecmal liistor)' of the re-professionalization of public health.' The period sti'etching from around the time of the first World War through the 1930s witnessed the development of a new profession out of the old: so-called modern "communit)' health." The crj'stallization of community health as a unique field, sometimes called the "new public health," delimited a period in which the model of sanitary science and state medicine bore refinements and new ideological injections. These refmements and injections, taken together, took the professions of community health in new directions while preserving much of the usable knowledge and applications wrung from the older model for expertise, a model determined to ' For a comparable intellectual study of the professionalization of urban social reform see Don S. Kirschner, The Parados of Professionalism; Rsjorm and Public Service in Urban America (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1986). 2 objectively identify a crying social need, initiate the process of self-identification, standardize new knowledge, create an organization with restrictive membership requirements, found journals, and establish universit)- departments and laboratories where ideas might be transferred from professionals to naifs. Health professionals did not discard the principles and practices of previous decades wholesale, but rather transformed them." Many historians have noted a current of reform in American public healdi in the second decade of this centur\'. Often, these scholars point to die influence of Yale Professor of Public Health Charles-Edward Amory Winslow—perhaps the most well-known public health philosopher of tlie time—in bringing popular health education to center stage.' Popular, or public, education is certainly one factor that contributed to the reinvigoration and transformation of public health, but there are also many others. Professional public health becamc by the 1920s an associational "field of social activity" populated by experts drawn from die newly "sciendfic" professions of psycholog)', psycliiatr)', sociolog}', and social work, as well as the traditional medical specialties of vital statistics, bacteriolog}', medical science, sanitation, and engineering. "Teamwork," "team play," and "choreography," moreover, became tlie watchwords of effective and efficient professional acti^tity. Experts extolled the virtues of "cooperation," the universal glue, and "coordination," the universal solvent, of professional and lay interaction.

  • Psychotherapeutic Encounters: Masculine Ideals of Gender and the Construction of Hysteria in Nineteenth and Early
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Brent W. Misso for the degree of Master of Science in General Science presented on May 10, 1996. Title: Psychotherapeutic Encounters: Masculine Ideals of Gender and the Construction of Hysteria in Nineteenth and Early Twentieth-Century America. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Robert Nye Early nineteenth-century America witnessed social change which significantly altered the structure of human relationships. Out of this transformation came new configurations of gender and sexuality which colored relations between the sexes well into the twentieth century. But these gender prescriptions did not merely serve to pattern male/female interactions, they informed the Victorian America male self-concept as well. As this study will demonstrate, men born and raised in the middle of the nineteenth century were bombarded with a masculine ethos which would permeate their personal and professional lives. This study focuses particularly upon men who entered the medical profession. More specifically, this is an investigation of those practitioners who took up psychotherapy in the course of conducting their medical practice. Overall, the thesis will show that gender roles did indeed influence medical professionals in the investigation and treatment of hysteria in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The first chapter is an overview of the issues to be addressed in the thesis. The formal study begins in the second chapter with an examination of the construction of gender roles in nineteenth-century America. The third chapter summarizes the development of the professions and the subsequent ascent of medicine. The process of professionalization created a reciprocal relationship between medical science and the broader culture by which the medical practitioners of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century achieved an unprecedented status.

Tracing the transform- ation of the federal government’s role in public health from the 1910s through the emergence of the CDC during World War II, I argue that national public health capacity emerged, to a great extent, out of the attempts of govern- ment officials to deal with the problem of tropical disease within the southern United States during periods of mobil- ization for war.

    APPENDIX A WSU 2014-19 STRATEGIC PLAN Appendix A: WSU Strategic Plan 2014-15 Strategic Plan 2014-2019 President Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Introduction The 2014-19 strategic plan builds on the previous five-year plan, recognizing the core values and broad mission of Washington State University. Goals and strategies were developed to achieve significant progress toward WSU’s aspiration of becoming one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement. The plan emphasizes the institution’s unique role as an accessible, approachable research institution that provides opportunities to an especially broad array of students while serving Washington state’s broad portfolio of social and economic needs. While providing exceptional leadership in traditional land-grant disciplines, Washington State University adds value as an integrative partner for problem solving due to its innovative focus on applications and its breadth of program excellence. The plan explicitly recognizes the dramatic changes in public funding that have occurred over the duration of the previous strategic plan, along with the need for greater institutional nimbleness, openness, and entrepreneurial activity that diversifies the University’s funding portfolio. In addition, the plan reaffirms WSU’s land-grant mission by focusing greater attention system-wide on increasing access to educational opportunity, responding to the needs of Washington state through research, instruction, and outreach, and contributing to economic development and public policy. While the new plan retains the four key themes of the previous plan, its two central foci include offering a truly transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.
