Language English Abstract tbd - Page 3 - Guide to the Jeanne Spurlock Papers DCAAP.0039 Biographical/Historical note Dr. Jeanne Spurlock was a psychiatrist who specialized in treating women and children, specifically in the black community. She worked to analyze aspects of culture and race that influenced the treatment of mental illness. Dr. Jeanne Spurlock was born in Sandusky, Ohio in 1921 to Frank and Glodene Spurlock. Her family relocated to Detroit while she was still in grade school. After graduating from the public school system in Detroit, Spurlock attended Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. Spurlock then entered medical school at Howard University College of Medicine and graduated in 1947. After graduation, Dr. Spurlock moved to Chicago to begin her residency at Provident Hospital. After selecting psychiatry as her primary practice, Dr. Spurlock accepted a residency at Cook County Psychopathic Hospital. Dr. Spurlock began her private practice in Chicago in 1953. She was later appointed Chief of the Child Psychiatry Clinic at the Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago. In addition to her position at Reese, she served as Director of the Children’s Psychosomatic Unit of the Neuropsychiatric Institute of the University of Illinois. In the 1960s, Dr. Spurlock served as chair of the department of psychiatry at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN. She received the Edward A. Strecker award for her work, becoming the first black woman to receive to do so. Her many research papers and presentations covered topics such as single parent families, trends in U.S. policy and the consequences for African Americans, and black children in education.
