This collection of photographs, history, and firsthand accounts gives readers a glimpse at the roots of mental health. These vignettes are born of the personal stories of those who worked at these facilities, those who were institutionalized, and their families. The authors took the time to listen to their stories and endeavored to understand their past and recognize how these events continue to influence the mental health industry today. Pictured throughout are the physical relics of the places--the now largely abandoned asylums of Connecticut--where these stories unfurled. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I was looking forward to reading this book as it belongs to the series of Images of America and in October I had completed [Fort Delaware (Images of America) which was very interesting and informative.
This book lacks the cohesion of Fort Delaware, the photographs were not labeled and while looking at old buildings may be interesting, I needed more knowledge to understand what I was seeing and its context to the history.
If you are looking for information on the history of mental health and the strides that these institutions helped create, this book doesn’t provide it. Only 4 case studies and the names of many superintendents. ( )
