Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victory for Progress in Mental Medicine: Defeat of Reactionaries, the History of an Intrigue I then learned for the first time that they were or ganized and conspiring against me, and I determined to prove to my own satisfaction the truth of what this member of the coterie had told me, and to use him, not as they had done, to spread lies and false propaganda, but to get at the truth. When they were having secret meetings, working under cover, planning, inventing false stories and spreading them in the most insidious way to bring about my ruin and the disgrace Of my family, the least I felt that I could do was to take a personal part, and, unbeknown to them, listen to their vile insinuations. Later, I had the cynical satisfaction of receiving their brazen denials of the very words I had heard them utter with their own lips.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victory for Progress in Mental Medicine: Defeat of Reactionaries, the History of an Intrigue Early in my professional life I became interested in the care and treatment of the mentally ill. Studying into the history of their care and comparing it with the conditions that I found, I was impressed with the small progress that had been made in many years; in fact, it seemed as if we had, in some ways, gone backward, and were reverting to the treatment accorded to this class in medieval times. I found that the private hospitals needed attention quite as much as the public ones, many of them being conducted solely for financial profit and with almost no therapeutic treatment. They were nothing more nor less than large boarding houses, the only difference being that the boarders in these "private hospitals" could not leave, but had to submit to the treatment accorded them and to the food given to them. They were prisoners. I set to work to improve conditions, but found that the proprietors of several of the private institutions of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts State Board of Insanity, which had supervision of the private and State hospitals, resented any suggestions from the outside, and, while giving out plans and propositions for modern care, they were not acting in accordance with what enlightened psychiatrists of the day considered proper and humane treatment.

Book excerpt: When President William McKinley was murdered at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, on September 6, 1901, Americans were bereaved and frightened. Rumor ran rampant: A wild-eyed foreign anarchist with an unpronounceable name had killed the commander-in-chief. Eric Rauchway's brilliant Murdering McKinley restages Leon Czolgosz's hastily conducted trial and then traverses America with Dr. Vernon Briggs, a Boston alienist who sets out to discover why Czolgosz rose up to kill his president.

This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 448 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).

Book excerpt: In the first comprehensive one-volume history of the treatment of the mentally ill, the foremost historian in the field compellingly recounts our various attempts to solve this ever-present dilemma from colonial times to the present. Gerald Grob charts the growth of mental hospitals in response to the escalating numbers of the severely and persistently mentally ill and the deterioration of these hospitals under the pressure of too many patients and too few resources. Mounting criticism of psychiatric techniques such as shock therapies, drugs, and lobotomies and of mental institutions as inhumane places led to a new emphasis on community care and treatment. While some patients benefited from the new community policies, they were ineffective for many mentally ill substance abusers. Grob’s definitive history points the way to new solutions. It is at once an indispensable reference and a call for a humane and balanced policy in the future.

Download or read book Life Is... written by Ray Rouse and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is . is a roller coaster ride. It has peaks of exhilaration and valleys of despair. The author will make you happy and at times he will tug at your heartstrings. When he feels that the reader may be stretched a little, he will take you off the roller coaster. He will take you on a trip, tell you funny stories, and philosophize about life in general. He will quote scriptures to support his feelings about why things happen as they do. But rest assured, he will put you back on that roller coaster. When I finished the manuscript and laid it down, I had a hard time letting it go. I started thinking about what life is to me. As I compared the author's ideas to my own, it occurred to me that is what the author intended. If it is, he accomplished his purpose. Charles R. Brown Ray Rouse was born on a farm in Lenoir County, NC, about five miles west of the City of Kinston. He was born in 1924, the youngest of nine children-seven boys and two girls-including two sets of twin boys. His father was a renter of farms, having lost his own farm through fiscal difficulties in 1918. The family moved off the farm and into Kinston when Ray was six years old. Those were hard times in which family members dropped out of school in order to find jobs to help support the family. After surviving the Great Depression and thirty three months in the US Army during World War II, he married Annie Phillips after a courtship of two years-and became father of a son and daughter. He retired from the insurance profession at age seventy. He and his wife live a quiet and enjoyable life in Kinston, NC, a city of about 23,000 population.
