Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address, Delivered at the Laying of the Corner Stone of the Insane Hospital, at Northampton, Massachusetts The varieties of human condition and the apparent diver sities of earthly destiny have been the subjects of observation and of complaint almost from the beginning. For many ages, the world, through all the grades of barbarism and of culture, have seen and mourned over this, and though men of high and of low degree, governments and statesmen, philanthropists, religionists and associations have desired and endeavored to remove the inequalities of the human lot, still we are even now compelled to acknowledge that in all that belongs to man, or that enters into his being, in all that surrounds him or affects him, in all his endowments and blessings, his priva tions and sufferings, there is no uniformity. Few are, in all respects, alike. Men differ in all things, and in some they differ very widely. Some are endowed with certain powers or enjoyments in the fullest measure, most have them in a medium degree, and some are nearly, while others are quite, destitute of them. Some are rich in this world's goods, many are in comfortable circumstances, and others are very poor. Few are learned in a high degree, most have sufficient knowledge for the safe management of the affairs of life, and some are grossly ignorant. Many are in the highest state of bodily health and vigor, most are strong enough to provide their own sustenance, while some are sick and need the care of others. To compensate, in some measure, for this discrepancy of blessings, there is implanted in man a love for his race, a recognition, that all are the children of the same Loving Father - and there is also in him a general desire - if not to equalize - certainly to impart something to those who have the least or who are destitute, and thereby alleviate their sufferings, raise them somewhat toward the level of their fellows and save them all from destruction. There is a general and acknowledged obligation resting on mankind for the strong to protect and aid the weak, - the rich to provide for the poor, the wise to guide the foolish, - the healthy to nurse the sick, - and the sound in mind to cure and care for the insane.

Download or read book The Discovery of the Asylum written by David J. Rothman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a masterful effort to recognize and place the prison and asylums in their social contexts. Rothman shows that the complexity of their history can be unraveled and usefully interpreted. By identifying the salient influences that converged in the tumultuous 1820s and 1830s that led to a particular ideology in the development of prisons and asylums, Rothman provides a compelling argument that is historically informed and socially instructive. He weaves a comprehensive story that sets forth and portrays a series of interrelated events, influences, and circumstances that are shown to be connected to the development of prisons and asylums. Rothman demonstrates that meaningful historical interpretation must be based upon not one but a series of historical events and circumstances, their connections and ultimate consequences. Thus, the history of prisons and asylums in the youthful United States is revealed to be complex but not so complex that it cannot be disentangled, described, understood, and applied.This reissue of a classic study addresses a core concern of social historians and criminal justice professionals: Why in the early nineteenth century did a single generation of Americans resort for the first time to institutional care for its convicts, mentally ill, juvenile delinquents, orphans, and adult poor? Rothman's compelling analysis links this phenomenon to a desperate effort by democratic society to instill a new social order as it perceived the loosening of family, church, and community bonds. As debate persists on the wisdom and effectiveness of these inherited solutions, The Discovery of the Asylum offers a fascinating reflection on our past as well as a source of inspiration for a new century of students and professionals in criminal justice, corrections, social history, and law enforcement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental Institutions in America: Social Policy to 1875 examines how American society responded to complex problems arising out of mental illness in the nineteenth century. All societies have had to confront sickness, disease, and dependency, and have developed their own ways of dealing with these phenomena. The mental hospital became the characteristic institution charged with the responsibility of providing care and treatment for individuals seemingly incapable of caring for themselves during protracted periods of incapacitation.The services rendered by the hospital were of benefit not merely to the afflicted individual but to the community. Such an institution embodied a series of moral imperatives by providing humane and scientific treatment of disabled individuals, many of whose families were unable to care for them at home or to pay the high costs of private institutional care. Yet the mental hospital has always been more than simply an institution that offered care and treatment for the sick and disabled. Its structure and functions have usually been linked with a variety of external economic, political, social, and intellectual forces, if only because the way in which a society handled problems of disease and dependency was partly governed by its social structure and values.The definition of disease, the criteria for institutionalization, the financial and administrative structures governing hospitals, the nature of the decision-making process, differential care and treatment of various socio-economic groups were issues that transcended strictly medical and scientific considerations. Mental Institutions in America attempts to interpret the mental hospital as a social as well as a medical institution and to illuminate the evolution of policy toward dependent groups such as the mentally ill. This classic text brilliantly studies the past in depth and on its own terms.

Download or read book Accounting for Capitalism written by Michael Zakim and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The clerk attended his desk and counter at the intersection of two great themes of modern historical experience: the development of a market economy and of a society governed from below. Who better illustrates the daily practice and production of this modernity than someone of no particular account assigned with overseeing all the new buying and selling? In Accounting for Capitalism, Michael Zakim has written their story, a social history of capital that seeks to explain how the “bottom line” became a synonym for truth in an age shorn of absolutes, grafted onto our very sense of reason and trust. This is a big story, told through an ostensibly marginal event: the birth of a class of “merchant clerks” in the United States in the middle of the nineteenth century. The personal trajectory of these young men from farm to metropolis, homestead to boarding house, and, most significantly, from growing things to selling them exemplified the enormous social effort required to domesticate the profit motive and turn it into the practical foundation of civic life. As Zakim reveals in his highly original study, there was nothing natural or preordained about the stunning ascendance of this capitalism and its radical transformation of the relationship between “Man and Mammon.”
