• A Swiss-German professor operating in America, Adolf Meyer, coined the term "Mental Hygiene".
• In 1908 the Connecticut Society for Mental Hygiene, the starting point of the Mental Hygiene movement as an organised body, was founded. Its aims were: improved treatment for the insane, and the safeguarding of the public's mental health.
• From the annual reports of the National Council for Mental Hygiene one can see many names that are also common in the Eugenics Society, including:

   Dr. E. Mapother- active Eugenicist
   Major Leonard Darwin - Officer of the Eugenics Society
   Dr. A. F. Tredgold - Psychiatric Member of the Eugenics Society
   Dr. Adolf Meyer - Member of the Eugenics Society.

• However, with the growth of the mental hygiene movement [starting in 1908 in Connecticut and spreading throughout the world in the 1920's] a second more vigorous phase was entered. The Mental Health movement in each country became the primary lobbyist for the Eugenic cause, frequently doing the front-line work of the Eugenics movements and generally acting as an authoritative pressure group with the result that eugenic principles began to appear again in legislation.
