He was a member of the Menninger family of psychiatrists who founded the Menninger Foundation and the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas.

He wrote many books including ''The Human Mind'' (1930), ''Man Against Himself'' (1938), ''Love Against Hate'' (1942), ''The Vital Balance'' (1963) and ''The Crime of Punishment'' (1968).
