Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report of the Wisconsin Mental Deficiency Survey, 1921: With Recommendations With two state institutions for the feeble-minded - one being prae tically complete when one or two new buildings are added, the other now just in the process of construction - it is but in keeping with the Wiscon sin spirit that further progress in the direction of meeting and solving the problem presented by this important class of state wards should be made, in the light of more complete knowledge of their actual needs. The public officials of this state, desiring such information as would enable them to map out a comprehensive state-wide program for hand ling every phase of mental deficiency, decided to undertake, during the year 1920, a state-wide investigation of feeble-mindedness; a survey that would be unprejudiced, sound, scientific, thorough-going, and practical; that would enable the state authorities to know how well they were meeting and solving the menace and burden of feeble-mindedness, and what were the next steps to be taken in order to make' their program complete. It was deemed wise to call upon some national organization that had had experience in conducting similar surveys in other states. The National Committee for Mental Hygiene was chosen. The survey has covered a period of twelve months and has extended into the state' institutions, county institutions, and public schools, to gether with a special study of the city of Milwaukee. A report of the Milwaukee survey will be made separately. Defective families have been found throughout the state which, con tributing from generation to generation defective strains, have proven a financial burden and serious menace to the commonwealth. Delinquency has been found to be intimately related to mental dis ease and mental defect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Mental Illness and American Society  1875 1940

Download or read book Mental Illness and American Society 1875 1940 written by Gerald N. Grob and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerald N. Grob's Mental Institutions in America: Social Policy to 1875 has become a classic of American social history. Here the author continues his investigations by a study of the complex interrelationships of patients, psychiatrists, mental hospitals, and government between 1875 and World War II. Challenging the now prevalent notion that mental hospitals in this period functioned as jails, he finds that, despite their shortcomings, they provided care for people unable to survive by themselves. From a rich variety of previously unexploited sources, he shows how professional and political concerns, rather than patient needs, changed American attitudes toward mental hospitals from support to antipathy. Toward the end of the 1800s psychiatrists shifted their attention toward therapy and the mental hygiene movement and away from patient care. Concurrently, the patient population began to include more aged people and people with severe somatic disorders, whose condition recluded their caring for themselves. In probing these changes, this work clarifies a central issue of decent and humane health care. Gerald N. Grob is Professor of History at Rutgers University. Among his works are Mental Institutions in America: Social Policy to 1875 (Free Press), Edward Jarvis and the Medical World of Nineteenth-Century America (Tennessee), and The State and the Mentality III (North Carolina).
