In the years between 1900 and 1930, American psychiatrists transformed their profession from a marginal science focused primarily on the care of the mentally ill into a discipline concerned with analyzing the common difficulties of everyday life. This work examines how psychiatry grew to take the whole world of human endeavor as its object.
