History
Janus Oral History Project

The Janus Oral History Project started in 2006 under the auspices of the Midwest Symposium for Leadership in Behavior Disorders. The original project was designed to collect a set of interviews with a small number of prominent individuals who were pioneers in developing the field of emotional and behavioral disorders.
Since its inception, the project team, Dr. Marilyn Kaff, Dr. Jim Teagarden, and Dr. Robert Zabel have collected well over 36 interviews both individually, and in small group. The list includes both prominent pioneers as well as current leaders in the field.
The collection of videos includes the following individuals:
- Braaten, Sheldon
- Bullock, Lyndall
- Cartledge, Gwen
- Cessna, Kay

Interviews and articles by the team have been featured in recent issues of the Journal for Emotional and Behavioral Disorders as well as an on-going series in Intervention in School and Clinic. Additionally, the team is developing an archive of videos and memorabilia from the Midwest Symposium for Leadership in Behavioral Disorders as well as selected items from the collections of Dr. Nicholas Long and Dr. Richard Whelan.
