Loren Roth papers

12.75 Cubic Feet 25 boxes 138.5775 Gigabytes

This collection is divided into two series. The first series, "abuse of psychiatry and psychiatrists", consists of subject files compiled by Dr. Loren Roth, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh. They are evidence of Dr. Roth's efforts to stop the abuse of psychiatry and psychiatrists for political reasons, with an emphasis on the former Soviet Union. The subject files contain correspondence, articles, reports, evaluations, meeting minutes, agendas, planning materials, diaries, photographs, memoranda, handwritten notes, programs, books, videotapes, ephemera, and other items. Together, these materials date from around 1950 to 2008. However the bulk of them date from the 1970s to the 1990s, when Dr. Roth participated in U.S. delegations to the former Soviet Union and was part of the American Psychological Association's (APA) Committees on Human Rights and International Abuse of Psychiatry and Psychiatrists.

Rural Research Centers Papers

2.5 Linear Feet Five standard manuscript boxes.

The Rural Research Centers Papers comprise materials from two different but related academic-public initiatives: the Southeastern Rural Mental Health Research Center (SRMHRC) and its successor, the Rural Health Care Research Center (RHCRC). The Centers coordinated interdisciplinary academic research projects from 1992 to 2000 (SRMHRC) and from 2004 to 2010 (RHCRC). Global research objectives for the SRMHRC centered on examinations of how rural poor, minority, and elderly patient groups living in the southeastern region of the United States accessed mental health care, specifically through formal and informal mental health care networks in addition to the primary mental health care system. Projects assessed use and success rates of various treatment modalities and services, both professional and non-professional. The RHCRC expanded the research mission to include rural populations nationwide, along with investigations of technological innovations that could increase access to care, and the study and development of new training methods for professionals, all housed in a dedicated facility in the University of Virginia School of Nursing. The Centers ultimately aimed to improve public policy, health care delivery, and treatment outcomes for rural populations who typically experience greater isolation from facilities and practitioners than do residents of urban areas, in aggregate, not only on account of geographic position but also as a result of the intersection of such additional factors as income, education, and race with the cultural conditions unique to rural areas.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
