This book is the first to explore memory, misremembering,
forgetting, and anniversaries in the history of psychiatry and
mental health. It challenges simplistic representations of the
callous nature of mental health care in the past, while at the same
time eschewing a celebratory and uncritical marking of
anniversaries and individuals. Asking critical questions of the
early Whiggish histories of mental health care, the book
problematizes the idea of a shared professional and institutional
history, and the abiding faith placed in the reform of medicine,
administration, and even patients. It contends that much post-1800
legislation drafted to ensure reform, acted to preserve beliefs
about the ‘bad old days’ and a ‘brighter future’ in the
state memories of imperial powers, which in turn exported these
notions around the world. Conversely, the collection demonstrates
the variety of remembering and forgetting, building on recent
interest in the ideological and cultural linkages between past and
present in international psychiatric practice. In this way, it
seeks to trace the pathways of memory, exploring the direction of
travel, and the perpetuation, remodeling, and uprooting of
recollection.Chapter “The New Socialist Citizen and
‘Forgetting’ Authoritarianism: Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, and
Revolution in Socialist Yugoslavia” is available open access
