“…Confronted by the social world outside of the asylum walls, psychiatry increasingly turned its attention to social factors. Social psychiatry increasingly became an umbrella term covering an emphasis on treatment in the “community”, and focused on the familial and social origins of mental illness (Davies and Dyck 2016 ; Kritsotaki, et al 2016 ). One of the most significant social psychiatry projects to emerge following the Second World War, the Midtown Manhattan Study, endeavored to test the general hypothesis that “biosocial and sociocultural factors leave imprints on mental health which are discernable when viewed from the panoramic perspective provided by a large population” (Srole et al 1962 ).…”

For many of us academics, doing community‐engaged research means coming to terms with the significant gaps in experience, privilege, and power, and overall access to knowledge. We are trained to learn through texts, not through direct experience. In some ways, we are even conditioned to tune out experience, or anecdote, to dilute personal subjectivities in favor of a critical analysis informed by a combination of methods and sources, and a reliance on text‐based forms of evidence. Whereas for most community members, evidence is experiential. This dynamic also underscores the tremendous power and responsibility we have as historians to shape identities and legacies through the stories we tell. In the end, I believe the risks are worth the rewards.
