Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fire Protection of Hospitals for the Insane This little manual is offered with the hope that it may prove of assistance to those who are interested in the proper fire-protection of Hospitals for the Insane. While much that is contained in its pages should be of interest to architects, builders, managers, and trustees, the work is especially intended for the use of Superintendents, and other officers, attendants, and employes in general of hospitals and asylums those who are more directly concerned in the prevention and extinguishment of fire. The author, regretting the incompleteness of the work in many respects, trusts that it may at least suggest what is necessary to be done in order that the dangers from fire in Hospitals for the Insane and other public institutions may be greatly lessened. While especially adapted for the use of Hospitals for the Insane, the suggestions herein offered may be easily modified to suit the requirements of all large public institutions, such as Asylums for the Deaf and Dumb, the Blind, the Idiotic and Feeble-Minded; Orphan Asylums; Sailors' and Soldiers' Homes; City Hospitals; Industrial Schools; Almshouses; Infirmaries; Reformatories; Penitentiaries, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rights of the Insane, in Hospitals I may state here that I realize how next to impossible it is for those of us who are entrusted With the care of hospitals for the insane to be unbiased in the consideration of ques tions involving hospital inmates and their management, and though in everything else experience is consulted and de ferred to, yet, in view of the wide-spread skepticism in regard to the Wisdom of the present methods of caring for the insane, and the lessening faith in the reliability of expert opinion, it seems to me desirable that we should, for the purposes of this inquiry, forego the vantage-ground which, even if not accorded, eminent dignity and the pride of Opinion is so apt to arrogate to itself; that for the nonce we shall be silent in regard to the Propositions laid down by our Association thirty years ago, which, like the Koran, have been supposed to contain nothing superfluous and to omit nothing essential; that we shall try to forget even that we are hospital superintendents, and ask, Who is this insane man? Just as if we had never had him under our control; and having found him, and decided that his disease requires for its treatment hospital care and restraint, put ourselves in his place and see how we should like it. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them like wise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Popular Feeling Towards Hospitals for the Insane Whatever reason may exist against the introduction of visitors to the galleries, may be urged with tenfold force' against the admission of the domestics. In short, I do\ dot see how the peace and order of an establishment can be maintained a single day, if the employees of every description are to be constantly mixed up together, to idle away their time, to circulate gossip, and partici pate in one another's bickerings and dissensions. In every institution, I presume, there may be found practices which are connected with some peculiar views or system of the superintendent, that cannot fairly be tested by any conventional notions of propriety. There may be, therefore, some reason for the somewhat preva lent practice of allowing patients, both male and female, to leave the wing at their pleasure, and have free access to the centre-house andgrounds, where they roam about at will, but to me it seems to be subversive ofall discipline, as well as of that privacy and seclusion which are supposed to be necessary to the restoration of the disordered mind, as I am sure they are to the maintenance of that kind of propriety which regards every unnecessary exposure of the insane as an unnecessary evil. The only benefit I have ever heard claimed for the practice, that of making patients more contented, because less restricted by locks and bolts, I have thought more fanciful than real, and at best I doubt if enough is gained by it to compensate for the real mischief that must arise from it. I see not how we can pretend to rely on moral treatment in the work of restoration, while we expose our patients every hour to such communications as they may receive from do mestics and visitors.

The fact that six State and five private institutions have been opened since, indicates that the founders were not deceived as to the necessity for such a hospital in this locality. The whole number of patients received to January 1, 1898, was 1822. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Isolation of Persons in Hospitals for the Insane Hen a man loses his reason, it becomes necessary that the reason of others, in a greater or less degree, shall supply its place. To that extent, the movements of the person thus afflicted are subject to the control Of others, and his property is taken from his management and disposal. Humanity demands this the 'peace and safety of society demand it, and the ultimate good of all parties IS promoted by it. Thus, of necessity, one of the hardest penalties of the criminal law rs Visited upon men who have not only committed no crime, but are themselves the Victims of as sad a calamity as any in the long catalogue of human ills. The manner in which this consequence is determined, however, differs very much in the two cases. In the one, it follows a judicial investigation conducted according to the strictest forms of legal procedure, with all the safeguards and indulgences which, in the progress of humanity, have come to be regarded as unquestionable rights; while in the other, in most instances, it is determined by the arbitrary will of individuals proceeding under none of the or dinary formalities of law, and guided by none of its principles. The Inquiries which this first View of the subject suggests are deeply interesting, because the idea now prevails that the legisla ture should prescribe under what circumstances this interference with the inalienable rights of men, on the ground of insanrty, is to be allowed; to whom this privilege of interference is to be eu trusted; by what safeguards against abuse this trust is to be pro tected; by what solemnities this deprivation of liberty and pro perty is to be accompanied and recorded. Precisely what legisla tion the exigencies of the case require, is one of the much vexed problems in social science. To solve it satisfactorily to all is simply impossible, because much of its difficulty proceeds from the circum stance that well-established facts and incontrovertible reasoning are deprived of their legitimate force by the influence of passion, prejudice and temperament.

This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane for the Year 1863 Allusion has already been made to the accurate views from nature, and the truthful copies of engravings thus taken. It may be mentioned, in addition, that when these last are skilfully colored and then magnified by the apparatus, it seems to the audience almost like reproducing before them the original painting from which the engraving had been made. For the last four years, a new field for female skill has thus been opened in this city, in coloring these pictures for lanterns; more than a dozen persons being kept constantly employed by the firm already alluded to, in preparing them for these exhibitions which have now become so common throughout the country. It is interesting to know that everything under the name of stereopticon, &c., that is now shown to the intelligent audiences which fill some Of the largest lecture-rooms in our cities, and which has been so generally commended, was familiar to the patients of this hospital some years before these public exhibitions were commenced. Museums and reading-rooms - These interesting places of resort for patients who desire more quiet and privacy than is always to be had in the wards, have been made still more attractive, especially those at the Department for Males, by improved furniture and addi tions to the libraries and collections of curiosities. Fine cases have been placed along the walls, and to fill these, contributions of books, specimens of natural history, or other Objects of interest will at all times be gratefully received. There are two of these rooms at each build ing; they are light and cheerful, are pleasantly situated, comfortably warmed and accessible at all hours of the day to those patients who are likely to appreciate them. Among the contributions this year, has been a special one of $100 to add to the attractiveness of that on the north side of the Department for Males.

Download or read book Gracefully Insane written by Alex Beam and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2009-07-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Its landscaped ground, chosen by Frederick Law Olmsted and dotted with Tudor mansions, could belong to a New England prep school. There are no fences, no guards, no locked gates. But McLean Hospital is a mental institution-one of the most famous, most elite, and once most luxurious in America. McLean "alumni" include Olmsted himself, Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, James Taylor and Ray Charles, as well as (more secretly) other notables from among the rich and famous. In its "golden age," McLean provided as genteel an environment for the treatment of mental illness as one could imagine. But the golden age is over, and a downsized, downscale McLean-despite its affiliation with Harvard University-is struggling to stay afloat. Gracefully Insane, by Boston Globe columnist Alex Beam, is a fascinating and emotional biography of McLean Hospital from its founding in 1817 through today. It is filled with stories about patients and doctors: the Ralph Waldo Emerson prot'g' whose brilliance disappeared along with his madness; Anne Sexton's poetry seminar, and many more. The story of McLean is also the story of the hopes and failures of psychology and psychotherapy; of the evolution of attitudes about mental illness, of approaches to treatment, and of the economic pressures that are making McLean-and other institutions like it-relics of a bygone age. This is a compelling and often oddly poignant reading for fans of books like Plath's The Bell Jar and Susanna Kaysen's Girl, Interrupted (both inspired by their author's stays at McLean) and for anyone interested in the history of medicine or psychotherapy, or the social history of New England.
