Psychiatry...something new on the American scene
We've been here since "Columbus sailed the ocean blue" at least that's how the elementary school poem goes. Plymouth Rock, up in New England - long, long ago, tall black hats, Massachusetts Bay Colony, witch trials, Salem, Revolutionary and Civil Wars...time passes, first and second World Wars: then comes our modern era.
Suddenly our era is filled with: psychiatrists. where, how did all THIS happen? Our phone books, our televisions are loaded with psychiatry. We see so many shows, even hear lectures, group therapy is hidden in church teachings hidden and languaged over in plain English, but yes, it's there.
Seven habits of highly effective e mentally adjusted people have been massaged gently in the right direction thanks to a wonderful world of the study of human emotional behavior.
It's been around a long time. We didn't know it, but it has.
"I don't need no nut doctor, I'm not crazy, I can handle anything on my own." How many times have you heard someone say that? Trouble on Track Two.
America's first Psychiatrist was Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, buried in Christ Church. He rests nearby Benjamin Franklin and other patriots just down the street from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Dr. Rush pre-dates the famous Dr. Sigmund Frued of Germany, another psychiatrist whose theories were later discounted, but got the ball rolling.
