Insights and Innovations in Community Mental Health

Hosted by William James College. Organized and edited by:

• The Erich Lindemann Memorial Lecture Committee

This work is dedicated to the participants in the Erich Lindemann Memorial Lecture and to all their brethren who are open to new ideas and collaborations that will lead to the betterment of the mental and social health of people, communities, and society. Knowingly or unknowingly they draw inspiration and dedication from Erich Lindemann who struggled to define and teach this approach.

The ever-evolving Erich Lindemann Memorial Lecture Committee has been stalwart in understanding and valuing Community Mental Health and Erich Lindemann’s work in this field, volunteering their expertise, experience, time, and effort in the midst of busy professional lives.

William James College has graciously and generously hosted the Lindemann Lectures for many years, valued this program, and made it part of its curriculum, as well as being the source of several Lindemann Lecture speakers making outstanding contributons on a variety of topics. We especially appreciate Dean Abby, Director of the College’s Continuing and Community Education Program for his enthusiasm for Community Mental Health, thoughtful contribution to the planning of the lectures, and logistical support.

We should recognize the series of William James College work-study students who added to their school work load the task of transcribing the recorded lectures and editing them for publication. Their interest in the subjects, skills, and effort have been essential to bringing the Lindemann Lectures to a wider audience.

Finally, we appreciate Rowman & Littlefield, publishers, for permission to use the title of the published book of the first 10 Lindemann Lectures and including those Lectures in this comprehensive collection. All publishing rights to this material from Insights and Innovations in Community Mental Health: Ten Erich Lindemann Memorial Lectures, edited by David G. Satin, MD, FAPA, Elizabeth Brainerd Lindemann, MSW, and Jean Farrell, published by Jason Aronson, are reserved by them.
