The past century has witnessed substantial changes in
mental health care in America. In 1909 Clifford Beers founded the National
Committee for Mental Hygiene and Sigmund Freud made his only trip to
America, fostering the spread of psychoanalysis. Forty years later, in
1949, the National Institute of Mental Health was established. In the span
of 100 years mental health in America has unfolded against a backdrop of
social, political, and economic changes. This two-day conference brings
together leading experts in the field to examine where we have been, where
we are, and to speculate on where we are going.
This conference is hosted by the Archives of the History of American Psychology
(AHAP) with the generous support of the Margaret
Clark Morgan Foundation. This two-day event will be held on the campus of The University of Akron
at The Quaker Square Inn.
