Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Commissioners of Lunacy to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: January, 1875 Another thought connected with this review is, that almost one-half of all the insane in the State remain still outside of the hospitals. It is true, some of them may be well provided for; but as far as cure and treatment are concerned, they surely cannot, in the acute stages of the disease, have as good advantages. Besides, what aggravates the matter is, that we know so little about them as a whole. There are undoubtedly some acute cases of insanity in private houses and in alms houses that should at once he transferred to the hospital. The commission of 1854 found over three hundred such cases, and there is good reason to believe such still exist. This ignorance and these wrongs will continue until some steps are taken by legislation to cause this whole field to be more carefully surveyed, and proper measures taken to correct existing evils.

Book Description
Reviewing Jarvis's Report in 1856, Isaac Ray wrote: "Never, perhaps, has a statistical inquiry been pursued with such ample provisions against error and imperfection, or with results more worthy of reliance. In all those respects which render such a work of value, --accuracy, completeness, and pertinence, -- we doubt if it has been surpassed."

Book Description
Gerald N. Grob's Mental Institutions in America: Social Policy to 1875 has become a classic of American social history. Here the author continues his investigations by a study of the complex interrelationships of patients, psychiatrists, mental hospitals, and government between 1875 and World War II. Challenging the now prevalent notion that mental hospitals in this period functioned as jails, he 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. Concurrently, the patient population began to include more aged people and people with severe somatic disorders, whose condition recluded their caring for themselves. In probing these changes, this work clarifies a central issue of decent and humane health care. Gerald N. Grob is Professor of History at Rutgers University. Among his works are Mental Institutions in America: Social Policy to 1875 (Free Press), Edward Jarvis and the Medical World of Nineteenth-Century America (Tennessee), and The State and the Mentality III (North Carolina).
