DOWBIGGIN, IAN ROBERT. Keeping America sane: psychiatry and eugenics in the United States and Canada, 1880-1940. Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell…University Press, 1997, xvi, 245pp., . Series: Cornell studies in the history of psychiatry What would bring a physician to conclude that sterilization is appropriate treatment for the mentally ill and mentally handicapped? Using archival sources, Ian Robert Dowbiggin documents the involvement of both U.S. and Canadian psychiatrists in the eugenics movement of the early twentieth century. He shows why professional men and women committed to helping those less fortunate than themselves arrived at such morally and intellectually dubious conclusions. Psychiatrists at the end of the nineteenth century felt professionally vulnerable, Dowbiggin explains, because they were under intense pressure from state and provincial governments and from other physicians to reform their specialty. Eugenics ideas, which dominated public health policy making, seemed the best vehicle for catching up with the progress of science. Among the prominent psychiatrist-eugenicists Dowbiggin considers are G. Alder Blumer, Charles Kirk Clarke, Thomas Salmon, Clare Hincks, and William Partlow., Tracing psychiatric support for eugenics throughout the interwar years, Dowbiggin pays special attention to the role of psychiatrists in the fierce debates about immigration policy. His examination of psychiatry's unfortunate flirtation with eugenics shows how professional groups come to think and act along common lines within specific historical contexts. - CONTENTS: An exodus of enthusiasm : psychiatry in Canada and the United States, 1880-1920 -- A confusing wildness of recommendations : G.

Zustand: as new. Oxford & New York : Oxford University Press, 2003. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xix, 250 pp. Ills. - How did today's debate over euthanasia (taken from the Greek word for ''good death'') become so divisive in American society? In A Merciful End Ian Dowbiggin tells, for the first time, the dramatic story of those refor…mers who struggled throughout the twentieth century to change the nation''s attitudes towards mercy killing and assisted suicide.Having had access to confidential records in the United States, England and Canada, and having interviewed leading figures in the American euthanasia movement, he reveals that euthanasia has been a contentious issue in America for over a century, long before Jack Kevorkian began helping patients to die. Over the course of the twentieth century, a group of public-spirited men and women tried to break down ancient Judeo-Christian prohibitions against mercy killing, overturn state lawscriminalizing assisted suicide, and convince the US Supreme Court that there is a right to die in the Constitution. In their eagerness to succeed, these euthanasia advocates have often sanctioned public policies that blur the fine line between choice and duty, freedom and coercion, the rights of theindividual and the needs of society. By the dawn of the twenty-first century, they had won some small victories, and the debate over whose lives were worth living still raged, but Dowbiggin argues that more and more Americans seemed to prefer better end-of-life care to sweeping changes in laws about euthanasia. America''s euthanasia movement entered the twenty-first century ready and willing to fight new wars but facing an uphill battle against sentiments such as these.Original, wide-ranging in scope, but sensitive to the personal dimensions of euthanasia, A Merciful End is an illuminating and cautionary account of the tension between motives and methods within twentieth century social reform. It provides a refreshingly new perspective on an old debate. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9780195154436, Keywords : HISTORY, philosophy of law.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the story of one of the most far-reaching human endeavors in history: the quest for mental well-being. From its origins in the eighteenth century to its wide scope in the early twenty-first, this search for emotional health and welfare has co…st billions. In the name of mental health, millions around the world have been tranquilized, institutionalized, psycho-analyzed, sterilized, lobotomized and even euthanized. Yet at the dawn of the new millennium, reported rates of depression and anxiety are unprecedentedly high. Drawing on years of field research, Ian Dowbiggin argues that if the quest for emotional well-being has reached a crisis point in the twenty-first century, it is because mass society is enveloped by cultures of therapism and consumerism, which increasingly advocate bureaucratic and managerial approaches to health and welfare.
