Jean J. Rossi papers (Ms.2008.026)

The Jean J. Rossi papers are a small but important collection focused on the diagnosis and treatment of alcoholism. The collection consists mostly of Dr. Rossi's writings in both published and unpublished form. Some conference materials, all of which are alcohol related, are included, along with a number of items on Willmar Hospital, where Dr. Rossi practiced. The reference files contain several articles by other authors on the topic of alcoholism, a history of alcohol treatment in the Lutheran General Hospital and a tape transcription from Hazelden, an important alcohol and addiction treatment center in Minnesota. The papers also include two periodical issues that deal with alcoholism, treatment, and treatment facilities.
