The Psychiatric History of New York

The Psychiatric History of New York follows the journey of psychiatry from Central Europe to America, and the psychoanalytic explosion that occurred in New York City. This 2.5 hour tour of the Upper East Side focuses on psychiatric history from the madhouses of the metropolis to breakthroughs in biological psychiatry; from hospitalization to deinstitutionalization; and from Freud’s psychoanalysis to the Sackler family’s beginnings in “valiumania.”
