From the Dust Jacket: "Challenging the now prevalent notion that mental hospitals in this period functioned as jails, [the author] 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.". First Edition. Hard Cover.
