New Directions in the Historiography of Psychiatry
Gerald Grob's work in the history of psychiatry over the course of almost fifty years created a model for how historians might successfully situate mental health in its social and political context, and how inseparable it was from this context. Over the last twenty years, the field has grown tremendously. Historians have incorporated categories of analysis like gender and race, methodologies like cultural history and intellectual history, and sou…

A response to “Fever of the Tuskegee Study,” by Robert White
Jeffrey A. Lieberman with Ogi Ogas. Shrinks: The Untold Story of Psychiatry Andrew Scull. Madness in Civilization: A Cultural History of Insanity, from the Bible to Freud, from the Madhouse to Modern …
The historical study of our collective response to madness can lead to one of two conclusions. According to the first, our long history of misadventures is evidence of the progress we have made, and of the distance between past and present. According to the second, the same historical record engenders an attitude of greater humility toward the current era. The books under consideration here fall squarely into these two camps. Jeffrey Lieberman’s …
Fevered Decisions: Race, Ethics, and Clinical Vulnerability in the Malarial Treatment of Neurosyphilis, 1922–1953
Syphilis occupies a unique position in the history of U.S. medicine and medical ethics. Given its widespread prevalence and variable presentation, syphilis was a major professional concern among late nineteenth‐ and early twentieth‐century physicians.

These strangers within our gates: Race, psychiatry and mental illness among black Americans at St Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, 1900—40
During the early decades of the twentieth century, William Alanson White and the medical staff at St Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, developed an ambitious programme for US psychiatry wherein the profession would dedicate itself to the reconstitution of mentally-fit and socially-productive American citizens. The racist assumptions beneath this programme led most physicians at the institution to expect little more than deference, dependence…
