These black and white photographs show the museum exhibits in the cases in the Tower Building reception area. Dr. C. F. Menninger and his sons Karl and Will formed a group psychiatry practice in 1919. The Menninger Clinic as a sanitarium was established in 1925 with the purchase of a farm house and admittance of 12 patients. Their philosophy was that mental illness could be treated with an integrated medical, psychodynamic, and developmental approach for the total health of patients.
