About Thomas Story Kirkbride

Thomas Story Kirkbride was a medical doctor, psychiatrist, and hospital superintendent for the Institute of the Pennsylvania Hospital, and primary founder of the Association of Medical Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane (AMSAII), the organizational precursor to the American Psychiatric Association. Along with Benjamin Rush, he is considered to be the father of the modern American practice of psychiatry as a specific medical discipline. His directive and organization of institutions for the insane were the gold standard of clinical care in psychiatry throughout the 19th century.
