After the lecture and the reception, a bit of food sits quietly, forgotten. I was considering making this image black and white to match the others in this mini-series but the color version seem to work better. Taken with Sony NEX-5.

Collective Memories
“A better kind of medicine for a better kind of world….” – Dr. C. F. Menninger
At the turn of the century, psychiatric hospitals were asylums, places for long-term care. The Topeka State Hospital, regarded as state-of-the-art in its day, was built in 1872 to provide “rest cure”. 70% of state hospital patients would remain hospitalized for life. Many patients had no further contact with their families. Problems ranging from patient neglect, abuse, forced sterilizations of patients, and the murder of a therapist by a patient plagued the Topeka State Hospital through its history. It lost its accreditation in 1988, and closed in 1997. The main building was demolished in 2010.
The Menninger Diagnostic Clinic opened in 1919, much to the chagrin of concerned citizens who feared a “maniac ward.” Because of the stigma of mental illness, the doctors had to bring patients in under erroneous diagnoses.
In 1925, Dr. C.F. Menninger, with sons Karl and Will, opened a 13-bed Sanitarium and Psychopathic Hospital in Topeka. They believed that mental illness could not only be treated, but cured. By 1935, Fortune magazine praised the Menninger Clinic as the “best private hospital west of the Alleghenies”. The Menningers worked collaboratively with other physicians to develop cooperative diagnosis and treatments for patients. Moods, emotions, and anxieties were treated as scientifically as temperatures and infections.
The doctors of the Menninger Clinic developed milieu therapy. All aspects of the patients’ experiences were to be therapeutic. Everyone from housekeepers to psychiatrists was involved in patient care. The Menningers hired artists to lead drawing, painting and sculpture classes. Patients worked in gardens, in the shops, and other activities that would increase their skills and confidence.
Dr. Will served in the U.S. Surgeon General’s Office, and helped develop mental health care for the military’s 2.5 million World War II veterans in need of mental health treatment. One hundred doctors joined the clinic to work with the Veterans Administration. Dr. Karl and Dr. Will wrote books, lectured, toured, and advocated for mental health. Dr. Will’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is still used in psychiatric training and practice. Topeka became the largest psychiatric training center in America.
"...Our conception of psychiatric hospitals here is not confinement; we think they are places in which to be treated, places in which to learn to understand one's self, to learn how to live." – Dr. Karl Menninger
In the 1940s – 1950s, the Menningers worked to reform state hospitals, including the Topeka State Hospital. After 5 years, the Menningers’ reform led to 80% of patients returning home after one year.
Dr. Will was on the cover of Time magazine in 1948, and Dr. Karl was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1981, the only psychiatrists to be so honored. The Menninger Clinic in Topeka closed in 2003. The Menninger Clinic and Foundation is now affiliated with Baylor University and the Methodist Hospital System in Houston, Texas, and is a world leader in psychiatric treatment, research, and education.

Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) in collaboration with Oregon Humanities, is honored to welcome celebrated author, activist, and cultural historian Rebecca Solnit who will deliver the 2013 Alfred Edelman Lecture on Wednesday, April 3, 6:30 pm.
Solnit will deliver a lecture entitled On Getting Lost and What you Find There: Uses of the Unknown for Artists and Explorers, drawing from ideas in several of her recent books: A Paradise Built in Hell which addressed the way individuals to rally for good in the face of disasters, and Field Guide to Getting Lost, on wandering, being lost, and the generative qualities of the unknown. Rebecca Solnit is a remarkably versatile, politically engaged, and erudite writer who has taken on subjects ranging from 19th-century photography to Nevada nuclear test sites, from Yosemite to a social history of walking, in a career spanning twenty years. She is a nature writer with an outraged consciousness of what humans are doing to nature, but along with alarm and dismay comes undiluted hope that we can be better.
The annual Edelman Lecture is one of PNCA’s four Cornerstone Lectures, which also include the College’s Convocation Address at the start of the academic year, the Homecoming Lecture during Alumni weekend, and the Graduation Address given at Commencement in May.
About Rebecca Solnit
San Francisco writer Rebecca Solnit is the author of thirteen books about art, landscape, public and collective life, ecology, politics, hope, meandering, reverie, and memory. They include November 2010’s Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas, a book of 22 maps and nearly 30 collaborators; A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster, and many others, including Storming the Gates of Paradise; A Field Guide to Getting Lost; Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities; Wanderlust: A History of Walking; As Eve Said to the Serpent: On Landscape, Gender and Art; and River of Shadows, Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West (for which she received a Guggenheim, the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism, and the Lannan Literary Award). She has worked with climate change, Native American land rights, antinuclear, human rights, antiwar and other issues as an activist and journalist. A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school, she is a contributing editor to Harper’s and frequent contributor to the political site Tomdispatch.com and has made her living as an independent writer since 1988.
About the Edelman Lecture
When the late Portland architect and photographer, Alfred Edelman, taught three-dimensional design at PNCA, he challenged his students to consider the principles of engineering, kinetics, physics and other subjects seemingly dissimilar to art. In doing so he brought the outside world into his classroom. Founded by Carol Edelman, the Alfred Edelman Lecture was created to enhance the student’s understanding of the visual world by presenting timeless and/or unique ways to examine and manipulate three-dimensional space and to be a catalyst for lively discussions in the classroom at PNCA.
