Sickness and Symptoms as Cultural Capacities in Colonial Ideology
Jonathan Sadowsky, “Sickness and Symptoms as Cultural Capacities in Colonial Ideology”: According to the WHO, depression is the greatest contributor to the global health burden. The change is sometimes stark. In Africa, colonial Western observers believed that depression was rare or nonexistent. In the early independence period, some found rates comparable to those in the West. Some are now finding depression to be more prevalent in Africa than i…
Reflections on the use of patient records
One of the most common questions we get asked as historians of psychiatry is "do you have access to patient records?" Why are people so fascinated with the psychiatric patient record? Do people assume they are or should be available? Does access to the patient record actually tell us anything new about the history of psychiatry? And if we did have them, what can, or should we do with them? In the push to both decolonize and personalize the histor…

Manuella Meyer. Reasoning against Madness
Professional psychiatry has been a global phenomenon since at least the nineteenth century, and the historiography is now getting closer to reflecting that critical point. Manuella Meyer has made a key contribution with this thorough and carefully-argued monograph. Informed by a strong grounding in psychiatric historiography, Reasoning against Madness shows both parallels with psychiatry elsewhere, as well as features particular to Brazil. Meyer …

S. D. Lamb, Pathologist of the Mind
Adolf Meyer deliberately avoided grand systematising of his psychiatric thought. Less deliberately, perhaps, he expressed himself obscurely in written English. As a result, we have been in the odd position of having very little historical work produced on a figure widely regarded, by both psychiatrists and historians, as a central, if not the central figure in the formation of American psychiatry. Undeterred, S. D. Lamb’s study goes far in rectif…

Beyond the Metaphor of the Pendulum
It is common to represent the history of American psychiatry by comparing it to a pendulum. In this metaphorical rendering, psychiatry has swung back and forth between extremes of emphasis on psyche (life events and inner conflict ruling etiological thinking, talk therapy dominating treatment) and soma (biochemical sources dominating etiological thinking, somatic treatments dominating treatment). This article argues that, while this metaphor is s…
Symptoms of Colonialism
One of the major achievements of African historical scholarship in the postcolonial period has been to show that ethnic identities, such as Yoruba, were socially shaped, processually unfolding entities, rather than static remnants of a primordial past. Over the same period a considerable scholarly and scientific literature developed about mental illness in southwest Nigeria, which focused on the Yoruba, the region's predominant ethnic group (Leig…
Confinement and colonialism in Nigeria
In a recent article Shula Marks has asked, what is colonial about colonial medicine? The answer, of course, depends in part on what one considers ‘colonial’ to mean. One of the benefits – perhaps unexpected – of the growth of studies of colonial medical institutions in recent years has been a growing appreciation of the diversity of colonial contexts, the recognition that colonialism was not the same in all places. This chapter seeks to contribut…
Pushbutton Psychiatry
It is not surprising that in our current era of ascendant biological psychiatry, there has been a growing interest among historians of psychiatry in somatic treatments for mental disorder. Of the major somatic treatments developed in the first half of the twentieth century, electro-convulsive therapy is the only one still in wide use, and its use has actually been increasing in recent decades. There is also abundant evidence that ECT is highly ef…
Colonialism and Psychiatry (review)
Although still small compared to the general historiography of psychiatry, the study of colonial psychiatry has progressed to the point where we might begin some systematic comparisons. The pioneer writer on the subject, Frantz Fanon, generalized very widely from the Algerian context he knew firsthand, and it is becoming clear that despite his considerable discernment, colonial contexts have differed, and so have their psychiatric problems and se…

Histories of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV/Aids in Sub-Saharan Africa (review)
While the development of new medications for HIV/AIDS has encouraged greater optimism in Western countries--perhaps, in fact, some unjustified complacency--the epidemic continues to devastate much of Africa. The epidemic was most serious in the regions near Lake Victoria in its early years, but it is now growing at truly horrific rates in much of the rest of Africa. South Africa is a vivid example, and is now facing among the highest increased-in…
