Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from The Care of the Insane and Hospital Management Insanity is the most grievous malady ever in¿icted upon mankind. Unable to observe accurately or to reason correctly, the insane man's narrow, ego-centric world quickly alienates him from his normal associations and interrupts habitual lines of conduct. The resulting aimless, erratic or hazardous manifestations bring upon him antagonism and too frequently cruel abuse. Thanks to science and advancing civilization, his treatment in modern times has been radically changed for the better. But of those familiar with hospital conditions as they exist to-day, few, if any, would venture to assert that the custodial management of the so-called violent insane is wholly satisfactory, or that the highest standards of moral and scientific treatment have been universally adopted.
