They loved the same things and shared a deep understanding, but Rosemary—awake to every emotion, easily moved to joy or tears—seemed to need more protection from the world. Six years after Rosemary’s death from pneumonia, Sage, now sixteen, still misses her deeply. Their mother perished in a car crash, and Sage’s stepfather, Alan, resents being burdened by a responsibility he never wanted. Yet despite living as near strangers in their Staten Island apartment, Sage is stunned to discover that Alan has kept a shocking secret: Rosemary didn’t die. She was committed to Willowbrook State School and has lingered there until just a few days ago, when she went missing. Sage knows little about Willowbrook.

Book Synopsis Whispers at Willowbrook by : Randall Wehler
Download or read book Whispers at Willowbrook written by Randall Wehler and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Walters begins his career as a psychologist, fresh out of graduate school with a master s degree. His dream throughout college was to work at a state psychiatric hospital, applying newly learned skills to help treat the most severe cases of persons with mental illness. The year is 1973. Willowbrook State Hospital in the Upper Midwest of the U.S. welcomes him as a professional, entry-level, state employee. This large and respected psychiatric hospital dates back into the 1890 s. As his early job progresses, he hears increasing rumors on campus. Sometimes, rather hushed speech and muted sounds come from the other side of closed doors. What is that "something" that is so strange in his contacts with certain hospital personnel? He tries to differentiate hunch from obvious reality and knows a decision must be made. Can he - or even should he - survive in this world of "patient care?" Randall Wehler received a master's degree in clinical psychology in 1973, beginning employment at a state psychiatric hospital where he provided a broad range of psychological services during his thirty four years there. His hospital experience included working with mentally ill patients, chemically dependent persons, maladjusted adolescents, and a geriatric population. The career began when psychotropic medications had largely taken the place of older methods of treatment and patient management such as using straight-jackets, hydrotherapy, lobotomies, and electro-shock. The year 1973 was during an era of popularity in using behavior modification (learning theory-based) techniques, cognitive-based (rational) methods, and an assortment of therapies matched to patient need. During the first decade of his tenure at the state hospital, he became involved in psychological research studies and authored or co-authored seven papers published in professional journals. Retirement from state service occurred in late 2007. He continues as a licensed psychologist."

Book Synopsis The Willowbrook Wars by : David J. Rothman
Download or read book The Willowbrook Wars written by David J. Rothman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Willowbrook Wars is a dramatic and illuminating account of the effort to close down a scandal-ridden institution and return its 5,400 handicapped residents to communities in New York. The wars began in 1972 with Geraldo Rivera's televised raid on the Willowbrook State School. They continued for three years in a federal courtroom, with civil libertarian lawyers persuading a conservative and conscience-stricken judge to expand the rights of the disabled, and they culminated in a 1975 consent decree, with the state of New York pledging to accomplish the unprecedented assignment in six years. From 1975 to 1982, David and Sheila Rothman observed this remarkable chapter in American reform of mental disabilities care. Would the state live up to its agreement without "dumping" residents into other nightmarish institutions? Would the lawyers prove as interested in meeting client needs as in securing client rights? Could a tradition-bound bureaucracy create a new network of community services? And finally, would a governor and a legislature tolerate such outside intervention, and if so, for how long? In answering these questions, The Willowbrook Wars takes us behind the scenes to clarify the role of the judiciary, the fate of the underprivileged, and the potential for social justice. In their new afterword, the authors bring the story up to date, describing the results of the closing of the institution in 1987 from the experiences of integrating the former residents into communities to the legal battles between the state of New York and advocates for the mentally handicapped.
