Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Trustees of the Boston Psychopathic Hospital: For the Year Ending November 30, 1926 December 9, 1926. To the Board of Trustees of the Boston Psychopathic Hospital In accordance with the provision of the statutes I submit for your consideration the report for the statistical year ending September 30, 1926, and for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1926. During the past year the work of the Hospital has progressed smoothly and a constant effort has been made to maintain the standard of accomplishment in relation to each of its numerous functions. The primary role of the Hospital is the care and treatment of the mentally sick. It has also to make a diagnosis in the case of a large number of individuals, whose problems are to a large extent social problems, such as individuals referred from the courts under various charges, individuals whose difficulties are under consider ation by welfare organizations, and whose problems require some technical analysis by a psychiatrist, individuals, both juvenile and adults whose adapta tion at school or in the factory and Store has been so unsatisfactory that special technical examination is required. In addition to the diagnosis and treatment of patients, the Hospital is responsible for prosecuting research into the nature and causes of mental disorders and into the problems of treatment. Another important function of the Hospital is as a training centre for many types of workers in the field of mental disorders; these workers make the valuable contribution of their services to the Hospital, while they get from the Hospital opportunities for work which are highly appreciated.
