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.

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 nonprofit Menninger Foundation, which had been established
independently of the Clinic, in 1945. |

|
The Children's Division began as Southard School, an inpatient
hospital for mentally retarded or emotionally disturbed children,
which 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 would provide 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. |
