  • The Final Years of Central State Hospital

    Open AccessEllen DwyerARTICLEJournal of the History of…2019

    There is a rich literature on the deinstitutionalization movement in the US but few, if any, parallel histories of state mental hospitals. Under attack from the 1950s on, state hospitals dwindled in size and importance. Yet, their budgets remained large. This paper offers a case study of one such facility, Indiana's Central State Hospital, between 1968 and 1994. During these years, local newspapers published multiple stories of patient abuse and …

  • Psychiatry and Race during World War II

    Ellen DwyerARTICLEJournal of the History of…2006Citada por: 3

    Although the American literature on "war neuroses" expanded during World War II, psychiatrists remained more interested in dramatic instances of "combat fatigue" than in the problems of soldiers who broke down far from the field of battle. This bias in the medical literature shaped both diagnosis and treatment. It had an especially powerful effect on African American soldiers who, in the "Jim Crow" army of World War II, were assigned in dispropor…

    Ellen DwyerARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2003

As his subtitle suggests, Thomas Cooley is especially interested in uncovering the inherent racism and sexism of supposedly scientific metaphors of the mind, and in demonstrating how they e…

  • Remembrance of Patients Past

    Ellen DwyerARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2003

    While not the first historian of medicine to use institutional records as a source for psychiatric patients' lives, Geoffrey Reaume is the most passionate. Occasionally that passion leads him to overstatement, but overall, it is productive. For example, he offers useful reminders of the limitations of institutional abuse records, the often-devastating impact of diagnostic labels, and the need to rethink institutional practices as well as therapie…

  • Hearts of Wisdom

    Ellen DwyerARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2002

    Despite the size of the contemporary medical establishment, family members continue to play an important role in the lives of the sick and dying. To better understand that phenomenon, Emily Abel has investigated the history of domestic caregiving in the United States. The first part of her book uses women's diaries and slave narratives for the period from 1850 to 1890. During these years, on the basis of their practical experience and empathy, wo…
