Second Annual Report of the Trustees of the State Lunatic Hospital at Worcester: December, 1834 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Trustees of the State Lunatic Hospital at Worcester: December, 1834
The advantages to be derived to the government and to-the community, from the services of the Trustees, in their connection with the Hospital, must always very much depend upon the amount of experience they may be able to bring to the discharge of their duties. The existing arrangement withdraws two of the five members annually from the Board. It is believed that this arrange ment is not consonant with a sound View of the duties de volving upon the Trustees, particularly in reference to the value of any experience they may acquire. It is there fore respectfully suggested, that the statute be so altered as to provide, that the place of the senior Trustee only be annually vacated.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book profiles a recently established asylum for the mentally ill in Massachusetts, United States. It presents data recorded during the asylum's first year of operation, including its high rate of success in treating patients - 55 and a half percent recovery rate compared to other asylums in the United States, England, and France, which average only 35 percent. These statistics are accompanied by the author's reflections on treating the mentally ill and the importance of providing humane care, and their insights into the stigma surrounding mental illness. The author also discusses the need for increasing the asylum's capacity and building a separate facility for incurable patients.
