Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the early 1800s, a century before there was any concept of the gene, physicians in insane asylums began to record causes of madness in their admission books. Almost from the beginning, they pointed to heredity as the most important of these causes. As doctors and state officials steadily lost faith in the capacity of asylum care to stem the terrible increase of insanity, they began emphasizing the need to curb the reproduction of the insane. They became obsessed with identifying weak or tainted families and anticipating the outcomes of their marriages. Genetics in the Madhouse is the untold story of how the collection and sorting of hereditary data in mental hospitals, schools for 'feebleminded' children, and prisons gave rise to a new science of human heredity. In this compelling book, Theodore Porter draws on untapped archival evidence from across Europe and North America to bring to light the hidden history behind modern genetics. He looks at the institutional use of pedigree charts, censuses of mental illness, medical-social surveys, and other data techniques--innovative quantitative practices that were worked out in the madhouse long before the manipulation of DNA became possible in the lab. Porter argues that asylum doctors developed many of the ideologies and methods of what would come to be known as eugenics, and deepens our appreciation of the moral issues at stake in data work conducted on the border of subjectivity and science. A bold rethinking of asylum work, Genetics in the Madhouse shows how heredity was a human science as well as a medical and biological one"--Jacket.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Directors and the Thirty-Ninth and Fortieth Annual Reports of the Superintendent of the Insane Asylum of the State of California (at Stockton): For the Two Years Ending June 30, 1892 The undersigned Directors of the State Asylum for the Insane at Stockton have the honor to submit to you, as required by law, our biennial report for the two fiscal years ending June 30, 1892, together with the reports of the Medical Superintendent and Treasurer, which are presented herewith. Since the date of our last report many of the projected improvements upon buildings, machinery, and grounds have been completed, and the various buildings of the asylum are in a more satisfactory condition than ever before, while the general management of its affairs by the Officers in charge has been commendable and we believe in accord with the purposes and aims of those who have established and perpetuated this important State charity. From the Superintendent's report it will be seen that the number of patients under care and treatment is still greater than the various wards were designed to accommodate. It was hoped that the overcrowding Of this institution would be avoided when the other asylums were com plated, but thus far there seems to have been but a slight diminution in the number of patients committed here, and the consequence is that the difficulties attending their proper management are greatly increased and the prospect of an improvement in their mental condition materially lessened. There can be no question but that this asylum has sufficient accommodations for all the patients who ought to be placed under one management, and we can therefore only expect relief from its present crowded condition when the other State asylums, now in process of con struction, are completed.

This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Directors and the Forty-First and Forty-Second Annual Reports of the Superintendent of the Insane Asylum of the State of California (at Stockton): For the Two Years Ending June 30, 1894 Reference is here made to the report of the Superintendent concerning the improvements in the kitchens, and also repairs made to the original asylum building. The marked changes in the condition of the kitchens effected by the adoption of the devices for preventing the rooms from being filled with steam, are very noticeable, and the results accomplished are extremely satisfactory; while the repairs made upon the old asylum building were absolutely necessary, and have been skillfully and wisely made. The earth taken from the basement has been judiciously used in grading and beautifying the main avenue in the asylum grounds. Many less noticeable, but still important, changes have been made throughout the different departments and wards by the introduction of galvanized iron sinks to take the place of those made of wood formerly in use, in the rearrangement of rooms, and offices, the putting in of new windows for light and ventilation, the construction of new water-closets and bath-rooms, and the overhauling and repairs of others. The roof of the administration building had become defective and leaky, and owing to the rusty condition of the tin with which it was originally covered, to repair it was impossible, and therefore the defective tin was removed and the roof re-covered with slate, making a covering to the building which will be satisfactory and durable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Directors and the Thirty-Third and Thirty-Fourth Annual Reports of the Superintendent of the Insane Asylum of the State of California, (at Stockton): For the Two Years Ending June 30, 1886 AS will be seen by the report of the Superintendent, the number of patients has rapidly increased during the two years embraced in this report, there being one thousand two hundred and fifteen, June 30, 1884, and one thousand four hundred and eighty-six, June 30, 1886. Although the accommodations have been greatly enlarged, and. For many of the patients greatly improved, the increase in numbers has been so great as to still leave the institution in a crowded condition. The new building constructed from the appropriation made in 1881 was completed in the latter part of 1884, and was immediately furnished, and occupied by patients removed thereto from the long overcrowded wards of the other buildings.
