Dr. Terhune's somewhat misogynistic advice for the wives' of doctors, though typical for the period. A psychiatrist and a founding professor of the psychiatric department at Yale University, Dr. William B. Terhune (1893-1987) entered the field of psychiatry in 1916. He urged that psychiatric patients not be ostracized and that they be accepted in hospitals as other patients are. The Silver Hill Foundation was established by Dr. Terhune in 1934. Its purpose was to serve as a "medical and psychotherapeutic unit to diagnose and treat functional nervous disorders". A non-profit voluntary psychiatric hospital it could serve up to 60 patients.
