Though it is not widely known, the text was altered for every printing of both DSM-I and II, the major change for DSM-II being in the 7th printing, when homosexuality was removed as a disease category. DSM-II. In many ways II differs radically from I in its conceptual scheme, perhaps most notably in the virtual removal of Adolf Meyer's influence, which permeated DSM-I. Gone now are Meyer's "reactions," replaced by "types"; gone too are the "psychobiological unit" categories.
From the 7th printing (July 1974) homosexuality was eliminated as a mental disorder & replaced by Sexual Orientation Disturbance. Though changes were made to every printing, this is the major revision. In many ways DSM-II differs radically from I in its conceptual scheme, perhaps most notably in the virtual removal of Adolf Meyer's influence, which permeated DSM-I. Gone in II are Meyer's "reactions," replaced by "types"; gone too are the "psychobiological unit" categories.

An important paper that was reprinted in NAPIPI's founding document issued later the same year. Beard was the driving force among the radical neurologists, who were disgusted with the conservatism of the asylum superintendents. Though it didn't last long, the National Assocation stridently argued during its brief life for patient's rights, a harbinger of a trend that would become much more important in the 20th century.
GM #1735; Brittain Medico-Legal Bibliography p. 13; Nemec Highlights in Medicolegal Relations #370. The appendix contains contains a letter from Beck referring to recent cases, received too late for inclusion in the main text.The first important American text on forensic medicine, with a section on mental alienation. Beck's book was published in four British editions and translated into German and Swedish. Beck later became president of the Utica asylum and edited the American Journal of Insanity. His text instantly became the standard work in English, supplanting Smith's 1821 Principles of Forensic Medicine and Fonblanque's 1823 Medical Jurisprudence. "The first authoritative book on the subject in the United States and one of the best in the English language. . . . With this publication, American medical jurisprudence became known and respected throughout the world" [Nemec].

Wozniak Mind & Body #50; Atwater Catalog #409. There were three American editions (1832, 1833, & 1845) and seven British editions between 1836 and 1844."At the time, fear was growing that the human nervous system was ill-adapted to cope with the increasing complexity of 'modern' life and that, as a result, insanity was on the increase. Brigham's work was the first published contribution to mental hygiene compiled for popular consumption. Written to stem the 'growing tide of insanity,' it provided the average reader with advice on the proper education of children, the importance of physical health, the dangers of excess mental excitement, and the need for improved education of women. For the first time, the importance of maintaining mental health became part of the American cultural ideal" [Wozniak, p. 49].

The APA's first biographical directory and a valuable resource for the history of American psychiatry. Lists full names, birth dates, positions, and publications—with much data not available anywhere else.
Probably the most important turn-of- and early 20th century neuropschiatric textbook, which went into many editions through the 1920s.
A standard American text of the period.
The last edition of the standard early 20th century American neuro-psychiatric textbook.
Clevenger's penultimate book, the origin of which lay in his work in his neuropathological and psychiatric work: "As reform endeavors availed nothing, a determination was made to discover the reasons for the too frequent brutalities in public charity institutions, and the apathy of citizens concerning them. The studies expanded into this volume, passing far beyond their original bounds …" [preface]. Very much based on Darwin and Haeckel, Clevenger surveys the evolution of mind from the time of early man, with chapters on heredity & degeneracy, superstition, hunger & love, acquisitveness, development of mind, evolution of the brain, senses & feelings, instincts & emotions, intellectual faculties, mental diseases, etc. Not very original, but pretty much a state-of-the-art survey of Darwinist ideas just at the time of the rediscovery of Mendel (which Clevenger apparently didn't know about).Clevenger, born to a notable Cincinnati stonecutter-turned-sculptor, started out as a civil engineer and surveyor for the U.S. Engineer Corps during the Civil War and becoming after the war Chief Engineer for the Dakota Southern Railway. After trying to expose western land and Indian Department misdeeds, he became disillusioned with politicians and corruption and abandoned engineering for medicine, graduating from Chicago Medical College (later Northwestern University) i 1879, only to encounter the same Gilded Age corruption and criminality at the Insane Asylum of Cook County, where he had gained employment as a pathologist. Attempts on his life persuaded him to resign in 1884, although his continued campaign for reform resulted in some convictions. In 1893 he was appointed medical superintendent of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane in Kankakee, where he opposed state & county officials who stole from the institution and abused patients. His tenure there lasted but three months. In 1900 he was appointed professor of neurology and psychiatry at Harvey Medical College. He is most important in the history of psychiatry for publishing in 1889 the first American book on "railway spine" and a massive 1898 treatise on medical jurisprudence.

Read at the meeting of the New York Psychiatric Society, April 3, 1918.
Director from 1907 to 1930 of the New Jersey State Hospital at Trenton (previously the State Lunatic Asylum and now Trenton Psychiatric Hospital) Cotton had studied in Europe with Kraepelin and Alzheimer and in Baltimore with Adolf Meyer. Cotton became the leading proponent of Meyer's idea that infections could cause behavioral abnormalities. Cotton abolished mechanical restraint at the hospital and inaugurated daily staff meetings to discuss patient care. He implemented his and Meyer's idea of focal infection as a cause of psychiatric disease with the zeal of 19th century American heroic medicine: pulling teeth and having tonsil, sinuses, testicles, ovaries, gall bladders, and — especially — colons surgically removed. As with almost every other innovator of new methods in psychiatry, he reported a fabulous cure rate, 85% in his case. Unfortunately, since these operations were performed before antibiotics existed, the death rate, which Cotton did not report, was probably between 30 and 45 percent. See Andrew Scull's Madhouse: A Tragic Tale of Megalomania and Modern Medicine (Yale UP, 2005).
Read at the Annual Meeting of the American Medico-Psychological Association [i.e., the APA], Denver, Colo., June 11, 1895. Cowles was superintendent of the McLean Hospital in Massachusetts.
A prefatory note calls this the "second edition" but we can find no record of a previous incarnation in book form. Possibly it appeared as an article in the American Journal of Insanity. An expanded edition was published in 1885, bringing the history up to 1884.
Obviously, only a small number of copies could have been produced—probably in the low hundreds. Though a number of libraries have copies, this is a book that just about never shows up for sale.Section 2: American Psychiatry (D-K)
