By the late 1940s, Dewey's progressive education was becoming dominant in American public schools. And in 1948 an International Congress on Mental Health was held in London with publication of a document, "Mental Health and World Citizenship," declaring that "world citizenship can be widely extended among all peoples through the application of the principles of mental health."
"Especially since the last world war we have done much to infiltrate the various social organisations throughout the country, and in their work and in their point of view one can see clearly how the principles for which this society and others stood in the past have become accepted as part of the ordinary working plan of these various bodies. That is as it should be, and while we can take heart from this we must be healthily discontented and realise that there is still more work to be done along this line. Similarly we have made a useful attack upon a number of professions. The two easiest of them naturally are the teaching profession and the Church: the two most difficult are law and medicine...
"If we are to infiltrate the professional and social activities of other people I think we must imitate the Totalitarians and organise some kind of fifth column activity!"
John Rawlings Rees M.D.
Address to the Annual Meeting of the National Council for Mental Hygiene June 18th 1940
[...]
The first elected president of the WFMH [World Federation for Mental Health] was Dr. John Rawlings Rees, a British psychiatrist who was quoted at the beginning of this chapter. The full lecture details a plan whereby each mental hygienist operates as a lone-agent, constantly feeding propaganda to private individuals and groups without naming the Mental Hygiene movement as the true sponsor.
He asks that constant propaganda be fed to and pressure put on: Universities, Educational Establishments, Medicine, Press, Parliament, Magazines and Weeklies, Literary figures, Film makers, medical students, civil servants and trades union leaders. To obtain the goals of the Mental Hygiene movement, without the movement ever being named.
In 1948 when he was elected Chairman of the WFMH he accepted the position on this newly-formed august body. The congress at which the WFMH was inaugurated was the Third International Congress on Mental Health. A Vice-President of the Congress was Dr. Carl G. Jung who had been described by Dr. Conti as "representing German psychiatry under the Nazis". He had been co-editor of the Journal for Psychotherapy with Dr. M.H. Goering, the cousin of Marshal Hermann Goering. There is definite evidence that Dr. Goering was fully cognisant of the euthanasia murders. Another of the German delegates to the 1948 congress was Dr. Friedrich Mauz, Professor of Psychiatry at Koenigsburg University. He denied his connection to the euthanasia programme, without condemning it, by indicating that his invitation to a euthanasia conference was no conclusive evidence of his complicity in any such activities.

Walter Carpenter and Prescott Bush were fellow activists in the Mental Hygiene Society. Originating at Yale University in 1908, the movement had been organized into the World Federation of Mental Health by Montagu Norman, himself a frequent mental patient, former Brown Brothers partner and Bank of England Governor. Norman had appointed as the federation's chairman, Brigadier John Rawlings Rees, director of the Tavistock Psychiatric Clinic, chief psychiatrist and psychological warfare expert for the British intelligence services. Prescott was a director of the society in Connecticut; Carpenter was a director in Delaware.

The Institute of Human Relations
In 1929, Yale President James Angell created the Institute of Human Relations, with Welch as its Chairman, setting up a national policy network controlled by Skull & Bones and cronies of Albert Lasker.

The Institute of Human Relations
William Henry Welch (S&B 1870)
"The key to curing disease, [Frederick] Gates believed, lay in scientific research. He took that idea to John D. Rockefeller Jr., who would shortly take over the family fortune, and Rockefeller Jr. clearly got the message. Four years later, on a March evening in 1901, as he dined with two New York physician-friends, Christian Herter and Emmett Holt, Rockefeller Jr. told them he was planning to create an institution devoted solely to medical research. Who, he asked them, could lead such an organization? Both doctors shot back the same name: William Welch of Johns Hopkins."

Dr. [Fritz] Redlich became chairman of a small, narrowly focused and floundering department under challenging circumstances. In 1947-48, when he was an Assistant Professor, the department was leaderless and the post-doctoral students were in revolt. Despite his junior academic rank, the Dean of the medical school asked him for advice on how to alleviate the emergency. Dr. Redlich's response was to work through the night and produce a visionary plan to create a department that would promote a scientific psychiatry based both on basic research and clinical work and on the disciplines of the behavioral sciences (especially psychology and sociology), psychoanalysis, and the biological sciences (especially neurology). His exposure to the broad culture of Vienna and to those various disciplines at the University converged with the underlying philosophy of Yale's then existing Institute of Human Relations to produce his vision. He was thereupon promoted to Associate Professor and named Executive Officer of the department in 1948. After succeeding to implement initial steps of his ideas, he was promoted to Professor and Chairman in 1950. His leadership extended over the next 17 years during which he adhered to that early multidisciplinary vision. The once failing department became outstanding in the country. Besides that, he was instrumental in the decision by its founders to locate the Western New England Institute of Psychoanalysis in New Haven, and he was president of the Foundations' Fund for Research in Psychiatry throughout its existence.

By 1961 [RD Laing] had set up in private practice as a fully accredited psychoanalyst and had left the National Health Service. In addition, he held a fellowship from an American-based independent research trust, the Foundations Fund for Research in Psychiatry. The award was for a three-year study on schizophrenic patients and their families. Administration of the study in London rested with the sponsoring organisation, the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations. As an independent and self-financing operation, the Tavistock Institute sustained a range of research interests, from social psychiatry and applied psychology to management consultancy and organisational development.

Kathleen: I am a consultant of the sixties...like Harrison Owen...Marv Weisbord...Peter Block. We all grew up in the sixties. And what we all grew up seeing was system. We were hippies in the sixties and we thought "system", it's the way we saw the world. Ron Lippitt—we all learned from people like Ron—would go out into the community and pull together a microcosm. He would get them, though he never called it this, to "one brain" and "one heart". Once we see and feel the same things we can come up with action plans. I learned that in Bethel, Maine, at the National Training Labs...as did Harrison...as did Peter...as did all of us. We each took it through our own soul in different ways and created an environment that fit our experience. We were different. Harrison was a Jesuit Priest and I was a middle class American housewife, for heaven sake!
[...]
Kathleen: Ron died the same year my partner died which was 1986. He was about 74, so he grew up in the first three quarters of the century. He was a YMCA trainer in Iowa and met Kurt Lewin. Kurt put an ad on the bulletin board saying he wanted somebody to work on team stuff. Ron had been doing team stuff at the "Y" and signed up to be part of this research project without realizing, until later, that Lewin didn't have a clue what team stuff was.
Lewin went to MIT. Ron and a group of graduate students followed. They started inventing the theory of group dynamics. They were part of the OSS, Office of Strategic Services, during the Second World War which was the precursor, I think of the CIA. The OSS was training...I love this story...this may not be what you wanted to hear, but...
Roger: Can you do it briefly?!
Kathleen: I don't think I know how to do short stories! Good thing I lived a long life! They were training spies to be parachuted into occupied countries like France or Holland and to transmit information over wireless back to the allies. The OSS was having a terrible time...their spies were either getting killed off, getting themselves killed because they couldn't stand the suspense or they were turning into double agents! So they asked Lewin and his graduate students if they would figure out how to make it healthier for these spies.
...
Kathleen: This group of graduate students who were learning and studying with Lewin decided they wanted to sell themselves as a package. They sold themselves to the University of Michigan and founded the Institute for Social Research. At the same time, they created the National Training Labs. They took this remote little town in Maine, because it was completely separate from anyone's experience, put the school there. At that moment Lewin died. So now the kids were on their own, so to speak. Ron [Lippitt] started, I think, the Department of Social Psych, Behavioral Science at the University of Michigan and I had the privilege of going to class. I was just one of his students.

We had to do something to get a reputable name for the Tavistock Institute. Our policy was to establish the journal, Human Relations, with Kurt Lewin's group in the United States. His notions of action-research were parallel with our socio-clinical, action-oriented work and I was regarded as his representative in Britain. A lot of his field theory was very congenial to some of my colleagues. Establishing a connection between Lewin's group, later situated at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and our work was primarily my endeavor. If I hadn't been to the United States in the 1930s it wouldn't have happened. Lewin was enthusiastic and wrote two celebrated papers for the first two numbers of Human Relations. He died just before they were published. His people in Ann Arbor carried on after his death.

"Trist, you have an hour to show Professor Lewin around Cambridge before his train." I asked him, "What is it you most want to see?" He replied, "I want to see the statue of Isaac Newton." So I took him to Trinity and there was Newton's statue. Kurt stood gazing at Newton and started to gesticulate, just like the fan-tracery in the roof. This was the kind of diagram that he was doing for the book on topological psychology, which he was then writing. So, I got an advance view of what it was going to be about in front of the statue of Isaac Newton. Then, we had to rush to the train. We almost missed it because he had been so enthralled with Isaac Newton. It had started to move when we got into the station and I just managed to open the carriage door and push him in. I always treasure that memory of Lewin being thrust, by me, into a railway carriage.

The Congress promoted the U.N. as the vehicle for promoting this objective, and UNESCO's director-general Sir Julian Huxley the same year wrote in UNESCO: Its Purpose and its Philosophy that "political unification in some sort of world government will be required."
Captain James A. Baker, so the story goes, the grandfather of the current boss of Foggy Bottom, solved the murder of his client William Marsh Rice and took control of Rice's huge estate. Baker used the money to start Rice University and became the chairman of the school's board of trustees. Baker sought to create a center of diffusion of racist eugenics, and for this purpose brought in Julian Huxley of the infamous British oligarchical family to found the biology program at Rice starting in 1912. Huxley was the vice president of the British Eugenics Society and actually helped to organize "race science" programs for the Nazi Interior Ministry, before becoming the founding Director General of UNESCO in 1946-48.

Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death.
