Amariah Brigham (1798–1849) was a physician who trained at the School of Medicine in Sorbonne. In America, he was founder and the first editor, American Journal of Insanity which brought public awareness and perspective to mental illness and its treatments. Brigham was one of the “‘original 13’ founding fathers of the Association of Medical Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane. He brought a then-progressive perspective to treating mental illness where patients were encouraged to work, attend classes, and engage in recreation.
