Introduction
This chapter is a brief survey of the various transformations that have occurred over the past 200 (and mostly, past 100) years in the history of psychiatry and its source bases. The traditional asylum sources, and longstanding (but underused) legal records that relate to psychiatry's history are introduced. The huge proliferation in sources and source types is also sketched out – psychiatry reaches beyond medicine and the medical in ways that few other supposedly medical specialisms can match. Just as ‘psychiatry’ has been transformed, so has the discipline of history. From the Annales school of historians, to social, cultural, literary, and postmodern practitioners, the work of historians has transformed and enlarged the purview of history. Both these developments – in psychiatry and in history – bear directly onto the history of psychiatry, and the possible and available sources that might be used to buttress historical accounts of psychiatric practice. There follows a brief discussion of the chapters in turn, preceded by a reflection from the editors on the limitations of this collection, and the changing conditions of its production

Australia's statecraft towards its ‘Pacific family’
This chapter analyses the statecraft of the partner state that has long played the most active role in the Pacific Islands region: Australia. For decades, Australia has provided almost half of all aid to the region, led numerous humanitarian and disaster relief responses, and conducted a series of interventions in response to instability. Yet since 2018, Australia has made determined efforts to increase its statecraft in the region. This reflects Australia's growing anxiety about the strategic consequences of China's increasingly visible presence in a region that lies across some of its most important air and sea lanes of communication. This chapter outlines the nature of Australia's contemporary Pacific policy, which includes the deployment both of material tools of statecraft, such as infrastructure financing, security assistance, and aid, and ideational tools, particularly its adoption of the ‘Pacific family’ strategic narrative to justify its role and relationships in the region.Joanne Walli
The United States' statecraft in the Pacific Islands
This chapter analyses the first country case study, that of the United States. In the context of its broader strategic competition with China, over the last five years, the US has considerably increased its focus on the Pacific Islands region. This chapter outlines the contours of the US's statecraft in the region since 2018 and argues that it has consisted of the deployment of tools statecraft in the diplomatic, developmental, and military realms. It concludes by arguing that, while the US has made a significant number of diplomatic gestures and has announced a range of substantial spending programs in the region, implementation of these announcements has been poor, primarily because domestic political divisions have delayed their passage through Congress. Therefore, while Pacific leaders have welcomed the US's re-engagement, the window for its statecraft to successfully build its reputation and relationships remains tight.Alan Tidwell, Joanne Walli
Marking Time: Memory, Mental Health, and Making Minds
History is always about remembering, but it is also a manifestation of the choices people and institutions make about forgetting, misremembering, shaping, propagandising, reforming, and revising. Triggered by reflections on key anniversaries in mental healthcare at a point when history and memorialisation are under sustained assault globally, we reflect on the construction of the history of psychiatry and the role that recall plays in the history of reform. Taken together we focus on one of the most contentious areas in modern myth and stigma: mental health. Drawing on expertise in local asylums, remembering, embodied memory, the media, and material culture, this introductory chapter will offer a new paradigm to explore memory in the history of medicine. Exploring the trope of the ‘bad old days’ and embracing primary material—from the nineteenth century, London County Council’s asylums, the BBC, and the twenty-first-century York Retreat—the chapter will present fresh insights into anniversaries and marking time, and will contextualise the 11 further chapters that make up the edited collection
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
