	History of the Department of Mental Health (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The mental hygiene movement, as it was called, was criticized in some medical circles for its lack of an objective scientific basis for its proposals and its "unscientific" focus on sociological factors as being the key to the prevention of mental illness and preservation of health.
		The mental hygiene movement was torn by differences between psychiatrists devoted to treating the mentally ill through biological means and mental hygienists attempting to promote mental health by changing societal institutions.
		The expansion of the teaching of Mental Hygiene under the auspices of the National Institute of Mental Health led to the formal designation of the division as the Department of Mental Hygiene as a regular part of the School of Hygiene and Public Health in 1963.
