Pharmaceutical trade catalogs are so cool! They are valuable to historians as they provide a picture into the stock of American drug stores of the period, including pricing and detailed illustrations of products and equipment. #pharmacy #history #drugs

The Payment Cure hopp.uwpress.org/content/66/2... #history #pharmacy Even today, a pharmacist might preserve filled prescriptions on the counter, stabbing the slips of paper through a peg. In doing so, they are participating in a tradition of recordkeeping that dates back to the early modern period.
Pleased to announce that the just published new edition of Topics in the History of Medicine (Volume 5: Quirks, Quacks and Cul de Sacs) includes my contribution, 'A Disgusting and Useless Substance? Hyraceum between Folk Medicine and Pharmacopoeia' #histmed #histbio #histsci

The book ends with an exploration of the use of psychedelic drugs in psychiatry in the 1960s and 1970s, and the ways in which mind-altering pharmaceuticals are making their way back into the heart of the field in the 21st century after decades of prohibition. #psychedelics #history #pharmaceuticals
Psychiatrists and psychologists such as R.D. Laing, Claude Steiner, Phyllis Chesler, and Mike Michaelson all labored to improve mental health by identifying and critiquing the power dynamics involved in both the practice of therapy and society at-large. #history #psychiatry #pharmacy
I argued that broader societal developments—e.g., the civil rights movement, second-wave feminism, and the Vietnam War—pushed a large number of psychiatrists and mental health workers to radically reform the discipline. #medicine #protest #radicalism #counterculture #health
In Break On Through, I explored hashtag#psychedelics hashtag#cannabis hashtag#drugs hashtag#pharmaceuticals and hashtag#psychiatry in the 1960s-1970s. I discussed the impact of the countercultural movement on the theory and practice of psychiatry in the late 1960s and 1970s.
