梅宁杰家族(Menninger family)
美国医师世家，为精神病治疗的先驱。查尔斯.弗里德里克.梅宁杰（1862～1953），1889年在堪萨斯州托皮卡开始行医。1908年拜访梅欧家族诊所後，意识到医生合夥开业的好处。其子卡尔（1893～1990）在波士顿接受了精神病学方面的训练。1920年梅宁杰父子两人合夥开设了梅宁杰诊所，专治一般内科。後来再加上梅宁杰的幼子威廉（1899～1966），他们还设立了梅宁杰疗养院和精神病院，将用於治疗病人的行为心理分析与同样作为疗法一部分的医院社会环境二者相结合。他们对精神疾病的治疗方式吸引了其他的科学家，并在使精神病之疗法成为正统科学方面贡献巨大。1931年梅宁杰疗养院成为第一所专门训练精神病护理人员的中心，1933年则为医师开办了神经精神科住院治疗课程。1941年他们成立了梅杰宁基金会，随後又开办了梅杰宁精神病学学院，由卡尔出任院长（1946～1969）。

Menninger family
U.S. physicians and pioneers in psychiatric treatment. Charles Frederick Menninger (1862-1953) was born in Tell City, Ind., and began practicing medicine in Topeka, Kan., in 1889. He saw the benefit of group medical practice after visiting the Mayo family's clinic in 1908. His son Karl (1893-1990) was born in Topeka and received psychiatric training in Boston. In 1920 the two founded the Menninger Diagnostic Clinic for the group practice of general medicine. With Charles's youngest son, William (1899-1966), they established the Menninger Sanitarium and Psychopathic Hospital, to link the understanding of behavior as applied to the treatment of patients and the use of the hospital's social environment as a part of therapy. Their treatment of the mentally ill attracted other scientists, and they made significant strides in establishing psychiatry as a legitimate science. In 1931 the sanitarium became the first training facility for nurses specializing in psychiatric care, and in 1933 it opened a neuropsychiatric residency program for physicians. In 1941 they formed the Menninger Foundation, followed by the Menninger School of Psychiatry, which Karl directed (1946-69).
