Michael Brown, Jason Haxton – Historical Perspectives on Osteopathic Medicine: Roots in Mental Health

In this webinar MAOPS President Michael Brown, DO, will act as the moderator and ask Jason Haxton, Director of ATSU Museum of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri, questions on the roots of mental health in the osteopathic profession.  They will explore what psychiatry was like in the 1800s and what medications they used to treat mental illness in Osteopathic medicine's early days.  They will discuss what AT Still's approach was to Psychiatry and his impact on mental health.  Most importantly, they will discuss the basic principles of mind, body, and spirit, and when it came to be a core part of the osteopathic profession.
