Dr. Eugene Mindel was born in 1934 and was the Medical Director for the Minnesota Chemical Dependency Program for Hearing Impaired Youth. He graduated from John Hopkins University Medical School and served as an assistant professor at the University of Chicago Medical School and at Northwestern University Medical School.
He was the Director of Child Psychiatry at Michael Reese Hospital. He has worked with deaf people for more than 23 years.
The Collection of Dr. Eugene D. Mindel consists of 3 boxes of manuscripts pertaining to his book They Grow in Silence published in 1987. Also included in the collection are 3 audio reels, 2 video tapes recorded/filmed during interviews with contributing authors. (Please see Gallaudet University Archives staff for assistance with the film and audio reels.)
The bulk of the collection is made up of manuscripts that range in date from approximately 1980 to 1986 and consist of chapters submitted for approval, editorial notes, and re-edited drafts.
The strength of the collection is the volume of drafts and re-writes that were necessary to create the completed work of his book, depicting that it was a tireless effort. However, the chronology of drafts is unclear and only a few dates containing time of submission are present.
The largest subjects are essay submissions and editions that were published in:
“Audiology and the Hearing-Impaired Child: Current and Future Needs” by Noel Matkin;
Eight other submitted and edited manuscripts are also included.
Three audio reels titled “‘The Deaf Child and his Family’ with Tom Woods, Dr. Eugene Mindel, Phyllis Dahlberg, and Arthur Nayer-Conversations at Chicago,” “‘They Grow in Silence’ Dr. Eugene Mindel talks about ‘The Deaf Child ‘ with Studs Terkel,” and “Studs Terkel with Dr. Mindel and Ralph Guertin discussing education for the Deaf” (1972) are included.
One video tape with the titles “Act Your Age, Not Your Color,” “Sound of Vision,” and “If I run Into You, Don’t Hit Me” is in the collection. Lastly, another video tape titled “On Testing the Hearing and Young Death [sic] Children” is also contained.
