 Positive psychology is getting a tryout at McLean Hospital - The Boston Globe
In a first for a major psychiatric institution, Harvard's McLean Hospital plans to invite greater happiness into its halls, embracing the teachings of a new movement in psychology that emphasizes the positive rather then the pathological.
McLean is putting together a proposal to create an institute that will aim to teach healthcare providers and patients some of the more practical tenets of positive psychology, a mix of science and self-help that has been growing explosively in academia and building buzz in the media.
Philip Levendusky, McLean's senior vice president of new business development, said he predicts that positive psychology will follow the same path as cognitive behavioral therapy, a highly popular technique that helps patients catch themselves in counterproductive thinking and refashion their thoughts.

 Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More - Poetry Landmark: McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA
McLean Hospital, with its long history of treating the blue bloods of Boston, has become an unlikely poetry landmark after providing both recuperation and inspiration to Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Sexton.
Lowell was admitted to McLean in 1958, though his infamous manic outbursts had already resulted in numerous stays at other mental institutions.
In 1968, she was invited to lead a weekly poetry seminar in the hospital, providing Sexton with her first teaching experience, after which she became a professor at Boston University.

 The Mad Poets Society
cLean Hospital, in suburban Boston, is not the nation's oldest mental hospital; that distinction belongs to the Pennsylvania Hospital, in Philadelphia.
But before the advent of diagnose-dose-and-discharge mental-health care, McLean, which sits on a gorgeous 240-acre campus in the town of Belmont, was probably the country's most aristocratic mental institution and definitely its most literary.
The curious "McLean chic," which culminated in the unexpected success of the movie version of Susanna Kaysen's memoir, Girl, Interrupted, can be traced to the fall of 1953, when McLean's director, Franklin Wood, admitted a Smith College senior named Sylvia Plath, who was suffering from suicidal depression.

MONDAY, Aug. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Scientist say they have successfully produced cellular changes in rats' brains similar to those seen in humans with schizophrenia, a breakthrough that could produce new therapies for the disorder.
According to researchers at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital, in Belmont, Mass., the changes were produced by manipulating a precise area of the animals' amygdala, a region critical to emotional stress and learning.
The new animal model is important because previous studies into the roots of schiozophrenia have been stymied by a lack of information on GABA based on postmortem studies of human brains.
