The two cannot be separated  according to historian Lawrence Friedman  for one cannot be understood without the other.  Friedman should know. He is the only scholar granted full  unrestricted access to the Menninger archives and the personal papers of founder Karl and Will Menninger. In this study of the Menningers and their clinic  Friedman lifts the public relations veil to reveal the story behind the public success: the reciprocal influence of the family upon the clinic and the clinic upon the family.  Friedman has taken extraordinary time and care in researching this study. The resulting book is neither expos nor hagiography. Nor is it a narrow institutional history. It is  instead  a finely wrought historical study based upon a decade of research in more than a dozen archives  including the vast Menninger archive.  Menninger is the first study of a major American psychiatric center based on full  unrestricted access to archival materials. It also incorporates information gleaned from extensive interviews with members of the Menninger family as well as interviews with more than one hundred people important in the clinics history. Not only does Friedman examine the dynamics of the Menninger family close up  but he also steps back for a larger view of the Menningers role in the history of psychiatry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646933721141,"sku":"ByrdShop_0700605134","price":35.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780700605132.jpg?v=1781682096","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/menninger-the-family-and-the-clinic-9780700605132","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
