Abstract

[Hahnemann adopted unusually humane measures in treating the mentally ill, and his system gave rise to a nationwide network of homeopathic asylums in the United States. This chapter reviews the commonalities of homeopathy and psychiatry and describes homeopathically trained individuals who left their mark in psychiatry. Among these are Solomon Carter Fuller, for his research into Alzheimer’s disease; Charles Menninger, founder of the Menninger Clinic; Henry Klopp, an eminent and innovative child psychiatrist; and Winfred Overholser, Frank Richardson, and Selden Talcott for their accomplishments in administration. Other individuals include Clara Barrus, an early leader in the area of women and mental illness; Bayard Holmes, whose son’s illness impelled him to search for a surgical cure of schizophrenia; Emmons Paine, a respected teacher; and James Cocke, America’s first blind doctor and author of a book on hypnotism.]
