Alienist (Classic)

(Back to Occupation List)

In the 1920's, "alienist" is the term given for those who treat mental illness (early psychiatrists). Psychoanalysis is barely known in the U.S., and its basis in sexual life and toilet training is felt to be indecent. Psychiatry, a standard medical education augmented by behaviorism, is more common. Intellectual wars rage between alienists, psychiatrists, and neurologists.
