Menninger Foundation Corporate Archives

 

Introduction

The Menninger Foundation was instituted first as the Menninger Foundation for Psychiatric Education and Research in May 1941. Inspired by the establishment of the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research a quarter-century before, the Menninger Foundation was initially created as an entity exclusive of the existing Menninger Diagnostic Clinic, a medical facility founded by Drs. C.F. and Karl Menninger in 1919, whose services were not exclusively psychiatric care, and the Menninger Sanitarium, a non-profit alternative to state hospitalization. However, in October 1944, these and all other Menninger agencies were officially absorbed into the Foundation. As reflected in the collection holdings, the Foundation’s focus shifted over the course of the 20th century; in keeping with the demands of the field of psychiatric treatment, the Foundation’s initial emphasis on psychiatric education and research transformed into community-based services and rehabilitation.


The arrangement of the Menninger Foundation’s Corporate Archives is a synopsis of the Foundation’s organization, approximating its actual organization but necessarily consolidating it to account for the changing structure of the Menninger Clinic and Foundation from their inception through the early 1990s. Subgroups of the Menninger Foundation Corporate Archives include records of the Board of Trustees, Central Administration, The Menninger Clinic (incorporating CF Menninger Memorial Hospital and the Children’s Division), the Education Division, Research Department, Department of Preventative Psychiatry, the Center for Applied Behavioral Sciences, Publications of the Menninger Foundation, Organizational and Individual Foundation Affiliates (including employees, trustees, and other contributors), and Manuscripts. more about patient records from the Menninger Clinic

C. The Menninger Clinic

 

The Menninger Clinic, dubbed the Menninger Diagnostic Clinic by 1920, was founded in 1919 by Drs. C. F. and Karl Menninger.  The Clinic's services were not initially limited to psychiatric care, but instead reflected Dr. C. F.'s background as an internist, as well as Dr. Karl's training in psychiatry and neurology.  Dr. William C. Menninger became a partner in the business in 1925.  The Clinic operated on a for-profit basis until it was absorbed into the non-profit Menninger Foundation, which had been established independently of the Clinic, in 1945.

4. Records of the Children's Division

 
   

The Children's Division began as Southard School, an inpatient hospital for mentally retarded or emotionally disturbed children, that opened in 1926.  The facility was named for Karl Menninger's mentor, Elmer E. Southard, the first director of Boston Psychopathic Hospital.  An independent corporation from 1930, the Southard School was reorganized by Dr. Karl in 1946, replaced by a two-branch Children's Division. Southard School continued to own inpatient operations, while the new branch provided services for outpatients. Outpatient treatment could take the form of placement one of several group homes sponsored by the Menninger Foundation.

D. Education Division

 

With the establishment of the Menninger Foundation of Psychiatric Education and Research in 1945, educational programming clearly became a priority for the organization's leaders. While several residents and nurses had been trained in Menninger clinics since 1931, the Karl Menninger School of Psychiatry became the Foundation's first formal program in 1945. Other opportunities for training the field of psychiatric treatment arose in the form of the Menninger Foundation School for Psychiatric Aides, among other programs, and affiliate institutions, such as Topeka State Hospital and the Topeka Institute for Psychoanalysis also provided training grounds for Menninger's students of psychiatry and allied professions.

3. Records of the Menninger Foundation School for Psychiatric Aides [MFSPA]

 
   

The Menninger Foundation School for Psychiatric Aides opened in the wake of World War II, made possible by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Facilities at Topeka State Hospital were offered and by October 1949 the first faculty members and class had been selected. Psychiatric aides were seen as a valuable support group for overworked doctors and nurses. Psychiatrist Bernard H. Hall was selected to be the director, alongside him an R.N., a research psychologist, and support staff, which became an active executive committee.

 

Administrative correspondence between representatives of MFSPA and other mental health care facilities and interest groups throughout the United States, including state and private hospitals, public health and welfare departments, and the Veterans Administration, from 1948 through1952.  Also includes files of MFSPA graduates, 1949-1951, and material related to MFSPA history and development.
