Featuring original documents from Traverse City State Hospital psychiatrist Dr. Paul H. Wilcox, the display examines mid-20th-century psychiatric research and his work with electroshock therapy.

“Traverse City Psychiatrist Makes History: The “Shocking” Career of Dr. Paul H. Wilcox,” will be on view throughout March 2026 on the first floor of the Traverse Area District Library Main, in the exhibit cases leading into the Sight & Sound Department.
