Nebraska Psychiatric Institute Records

The collection documents the treatment, training, and research operations of the Nebraska Psychiatric Institute (NPI) from 1947 to 2012, with a bulk of the material dating from 1956-1982. NPI facilitated medical teaching and research between the University of Nebraska College of Medicine and Nebraska state hospitals often located in rural areas of the state. Some of the significant topics represented in the collection are mental health treatment and education practices during the second half of the 20th century, the first large-scale application of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) for medical treatment, and psychiatric treatment facility architecture.
