Biographical / HistoricalIn 1972 the Margaret S. Mahler Psychiatric Research Fund was formed with matching funds from the MenilFoundation Inc., of Houston, Texas. The purpose of the Fund was to ensure the preservation of Mahler'sresearch through the maintenance of her research archives, and to provide funding for continued researchin the areas of child development and child psychosis.

The Mahler archive at the time consisted of research films, documents, raw and processed data,manuscripts and publications stemming from Mahler's studies of tics in children, on childhood psychosis,and the studies of normal child development. The Fund supported the physical preservation, reproductionand cataloging of the films and research documentation. In addition, the Fund provided money for Mahlerto continue to write about her research, to fund the then current and follow-up studies of normal childdevelopment, and to provide funding for any future studies stemming from Mahler's work.

The Fund also supported the promotion of research and scientific publication in the fields of childdevelopment and analysis by Mahler and others through available means and the establishment of theMargaret S. Mahler Literature Prize, and publication by the Fund of scientific papers, monographs and/orbooks growing out of research supported by the Fund. The Fund also sponsored projects by individualsand groups that focused on child development and child analysis. Additionally, the Fund co-sponsored theMargaret S. Mahler Child Development Symposium Series in collaboration with the Medical College ofPennsylvania, Department of Psychiatry and the Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute.

In 1976, the Fund became independent of the Menil Foundation and was renamed the Margaret S. MahlerPsychiatric Research Foundation, with its primary purposes remaining the same as those of its predecessor.The Foundation continues the work begun by Margaret S. Mahler.

Scope and ContentsThe Margaret S. Mahler Psychiatric Research Foundation papers contain the research documents, rawand processed data, videotapes and films stemming from Mahler's research studies of tics in children, onchildhood psychosis and the studies of normal child development. The material dates from 1955-1977. Inthe 1940s Mahler conducted research studying tics in children at the New York State Psychiatric Institute,Children's Services Division with Dr. Jean Luke and Leo Rangell. In the 1960s an electrical fire destroyedthe majority of research information pertaining to the tic studies. A limited amount of research film andpublications from this study remain. The publications are located in the Margaret S. Mahler Papers (MSGroup # 1138). The majority of the Foundation material stems from the studies on child psychosis whichMahler conducted with Manuel Furer in the 1950s under the title of "the natural history of symbiotic childpsychosis" and of the studies of normal child development, also known as the separation-individuationstudies, with Calvin Settlage, Fred Pine and Anni Bergman from 1960-1972. From these studies Mahlerdeveloped her theory of separation-individuation in which a child grows through various psychological andphysical stages which enable it to recognize its independence from the mother, (individuation) and thenin turn pass through the physical break from its mother, (separation). Also included in the papers are filmswhich were created by the Foundation for teaching purposes, and in conjunction with projects sponsoredby the Foundation.

The Margaret S. Mahler Psychiatric Research Foundation deposited the material in Manuscripts andArchives from 1979-1983. Original order of the material has been maintained. The bulk of the materialdates from 1960-1972 when Mahler and her co-workers were conducting the studies of normal childdevelopment. The papers are arranged in four series: I. NATURAL HISTORY OF SYMBIOTIC CHILDPSYCHOSIS, II. NORMAL SEPARATION-INDIVIDUATION STUDIES, III. VIDEOTAPES, and IV. FILMS.

Series I, NATURAL HISTORY OF SYMBIOTIC CHILD PSYCHOSIS, contains applications, observations,reports of children in the therapeutic nursery, and conference minutes, for the study of symbiotic childpsychosis which Mahler conducted in the 1950s. The applications contain information about children whowere accepted or rejected for the study. Observations include daily and monthly summaries of the children,reports by the social worker involved with the study concerning the mothers of the children, reports bythe therapist concerning the activities of the children and their families, and reports by non-participatingobservers who conducted unobtrusive observations from within the nursery setting. In addition, recordsof treatment summaries of the children, psychiatric exams of the children and parents, and interviewsof the mothers are also maintained. Material from the therapeutic nursery contains observations andreports. Conference minutes contain discussions of sta observations and suggestions for treatment ofthe children.

The material is arranged by type. The applications, observations and therapeutic nursery materials arearranged alphabetically by child. The conference minutes are arranged chronologically.

Series II, NORMAL SEPARATION-INDIVIDUATION STUDIES, contains applications, observations, filmobservations and processed data in the form of notebooks; the methodology for the studies, includingforms listing the areas of observations for and the ratings of each of the children; the raw data describingthe categories and ratings of the children; research conference minutes, testing schedules, and microfilm/microfiche sets of the notebooks and processed data for the studies which were conducted from1959-1973. Materials for the "early children" who began the study in 1959 include applications containinggeneral information, medical histories and psychological examinations of the children. In addition, groupobservations of the children are maintained with this material. Materials relating to the further studiesof the childrens' normal development consist of notebooks containing: a) "once only" material includinggeneral birth information, early medical information, personal and family histories, physical home layouts,results of developmental tests, and letters of recommendation from attending schools; b) observations,of the children by the researchers in selected categories; c) ratings of the children in additional categoriesby research sta; d) reduced data of specific observations including what Mahler termed 'Ten Questions'dealing with the physical awareness of the children in the nursery, and the 'Four Topics' concerning thepsychological experiences of the children; e) reactions observed by the sta relating to the separationfrom the mother, the sleep of the child, the introduction of a stranger to the mother-child situation, and

of 52


the mirror reactions of the child; f) interim materials include observations of play sessions; g) follow-upand summaries include observations and assessments made by research sta concerning the childrens'progress from the beginning to the end of the study; and h) mothers' booksinclude interviews of themothers and fathers as well as observations of the parents in the nursery setting. These notebooks arecopies of the originals which are still in the possession of the Mahler Foundation. There is a limited amountof duplicate material for the children. This material is maintained separately from the notebook material.

Raw data includes observations of the children in specific categories and ratings of the children by theresearch sta as described by the methodology created for the study. The children were observed ineighteen categories: feeding and oral behavior; toileting; motor and locomotor activity; sleep; body selfawareness as reaction to anatomical sex dierences; reaction to strangers; imitation, play and fantasy;speech and communication; aggression; reaction to pain and frustration; mother; mother-child interaction;dierences between home and Masters Children's Center; important events in family; information aboutfather; typical and exaggerated behavior; siblings and contemporaries; summary.

Reduced data includes observations by the research sta documenting the physical and psychologicalexperiences of the child in the nursery setting. Mahler and her co-workers developed a set of "TenQuestions" and "Four Topics" which include observations on aggression & psychosexual development,mood, mood by subphases, perceptions-cognitive-language development, object relations, briefstatements, key statements, checking back reactions, early feeding & weaning, ego functions, developmentof locomotion, and separation reactions.

Film observations contain notes from the researchers and non-participant observers who observed specificreactions in the children including: checking back reactions, early fantasy activity, early feeding & weaningactivity, ego functions, development of locomotor activity, and separation reactions. In addition, the notescontain selected film sequences of the children.

Descriptions of the methodology and rationale for the normal development studies are contained in thenotes, early rating scales and procedures devised by Fred Pine. Early and later versions of the rating scalesand methods for applying their use in observations are found in these files.

McDevitt Notebooks contain materials relating to the follow-up studies undertaken by John McDevittwith some of the children from the initial study. Observations contain information regarding femaledevelopment and gender identity of the female children under study.

The research conference minutes contain transcripts of meetings attended by the research sta wherethe project and treatment of the children were discussed. The schedules document the observational andtesting activity of the research sta.

The microfiche and microfilm sets of the notebooks contain duplicate raw and processed data maintainedby Mahler on each of the study children. There are four microfilm/microfiche sets each containing: 1) areaobservations; 2) coordinated observations; 3) film notes and observations; 4) reduced data--narrativeand general remarks. The observations card index contains notecards with observations of the childrenarranged by type of reaction.

Series III, VIDEOTAPES, contains edited versions of the research film from the Normal Separation-Individuation studies. These include videotapes of individual children, and of children in specific subphasesof development. The tapes include longitudinal studies, as well as condensed versions.

Series IV, FILMS, contains the original and copy observational film recorded during Mahler's studies oftics in children, childhood psychosis, and of normal childhood development. The tic studies films includefootage of Mahler's child patients as well as footage of patients of her co-worker Dr. Jean Luke. Thesubjects in this study range from six to twenty-five years in age. Tic studies observations are filmed on16mm film. The natural history of symbiotic child psychosis film contains observations of the children fromthis study from the spring of 1960 to the spring of 1963. Film from the normal separation-individuationstudies contains original, copy and longitudinal prints filmed at the Masters Children's Center by Mahlerand her co-workers. In addition to the positive prints of the longitudinal film, duplicate negative of the filmhas also been maintained. The film is arranged by name of child or pairs of children and is black and white
