Excerpt from Cook County and the Mentally Handicapped: A Study of the Provisions for Dealing With Mental Problems in Cook County, Illinois; Report of Survey 1916-1917
Fortunately, these are not wholly matters for experiment. Modern studies in psychiatry have provided us with extremely useful means of diagnosis and classification, and enough work has already been done in different parts of the country to show which methods are advantageous and economical and which are disadvantageous and wasteful. Perhaps nowhere in the United States has a more successful attempt been made to bring the resources of the study of the mind to bear upon the solution of social problems than in Boston. Here, the Psychopathic Hospital stands ready to serve the community in whatever way it can. The parent with a deficient child, the magistrate with a problem in delinquency, the teacher with an unusual pupil, all can bring their troubles to the Psychopathic Hospital and secure the best advice that men trained in this work are able to give.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the flaws within institutions that handle the housing of Chicago's mentally ill, juvenile delinquent, and socially vulnerable populations. Completed in 1917, this book represents one of the first critical examinations of a county's mental health system in the United States, and offers not only an overview of the provisions in place for these individuals at the time but also discusses the evolution of the present system and the changes that need to be implemented to improve the system for the future. The author argues that the existing system falls short of the highest standards in many ways, and has room for improvement in both structural and personnel areas. Despite these shortcomings, there is much to be gained by examining the motivations of those working within these broken systems, who often work under the most difficult circumstances but still bring dedication and compassion that is commendable and rare. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332256549_0
