SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The Harvey Fireside Papers, a six-box collection, are concerned with the psychiatric abuse of Soviet dissidents between 1979 and 1987. The papers document the efforts of American psychiatrists, the American Psychiatric Association Committee on Abuse of Psychiatry, Amnesty International, the United Nations, and other international organizations, to stop this abuse in the Soviet Union. In addition, there is mention of similar cases in South Africa, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina.
In particular, as a representative of Amnesty International, Fireside worked very closely with the APA in the effort to free Dr. Anatoly Koryagin, a psychiatrist imprisoned for many years. There is also some documentation of the work of European psychiatrists, principally from Sweden and England. A number of these documents are in Russian. Finally, there are photographs of many of the Soviet dissidents.
Along with the papers of Richard Bonnie and Saleem Shah, this collection is a valuable resource for scholars studying politically based psychiatric abuse.
