It closely examines a large selection of some of the more notable facilities that it has been treated in down through the ages and, in some cases, right on up into the present day. This book shows how our understanding of mental illness, its treatment, and the facilities within which it has been treated have evolved, as well as taking an honest and deeply penetrating look at how it is now treated and regarded by today’s society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book also asks a series of very strong, very relevant questions. What was done wrong? What was done right? How does it compare to today? Why were the overwhelming majority of these places closed? What has happened as a result of their closures? What can we learn? How have a small handful of these places remained open? And, perhaps most importantly, what do we now need to do today as a result of it all?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause in order to operate adequately in the present and to move successfully into the future, the past must be properly recognized, thoroughly understood, and fully utilized. This is true in all aspects of history and of life in general…and all the more so when it comes to the mentally ill and the mentally disabled living in our midst.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45914280853695,"sku":"71fe09e8-b6b0-4697-91cc-610cb3684ad1","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/f7a48c30fb1329629ada7faef5f16bf8.jpg?v=1785056489","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/a-history-of-twenty-seven-insane-asylums-mental-hospitals-and-state-schools-based-on-the-popular-youtube-video-series","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
