ABSTRACT
Chapter 3 explores the first decade of the 20th century, establishing a pattern of addressing both psychiatry and Erich Lindemann as they evolve separately and with progressive interaction. The Progressive Era is explored as part of the social context for psychiatry. Psychological ideology is reviewed in this context and specifically the early growth of psychoanalysis. The development of several new mental health-related professions is recognized. Several contemporaneous movements embodied the social ideology: the Emmanuel Movement, the Psychopathic Hospital Movement, the Mental Hygiene Movement, and the Child Guidance Movement. Early elements of social ideology in psychiatry are revealed. This chapter begins the history of Erich Lindemann: various of his family members imbued him with values and examples—social responsibility, courage, conflict, failure—that were the basis of his personal and professional development, as well as his future contributions to psychiatry and community mental health. We have the beginnings of a prime example of the contributions of individual and context in shaping history.
