Menninger Foundation

The Menninger Clinic was founded in 1925 in Topeka, Kansas, by DRs. Karl, Will, and C.F. It represented the first group psychiatry practice. "We had a vision," Dr. C.F. said, "of a better kind of medicine and a better kind of world."

Current Facilities

As of 2005, the Menninger Clinic has an Adolescent Treatment Program (ATP), an Eating Disorders program, an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder program, a Professionals in Crisis program (PIC), a Compas Young Adult program (for people 18-30 with mental disorders or substance abuse issues), and a Hope Adult program (for people 18-60 with mental illness). The current CEO of the Menninger Foundation is Ian Aitken. In 2005, U.S. News & World Report ranked the Menninger Clinic as the tenth best psychiatric hospital in the United States.
