Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the administrative report of the Elgin State Hospital in Elgin, Illinois, and shares the experiences of medical staff at the facility from 1914 to 1916. The hospital, the largest of its kind in the United States when it opened, housed over 900 patients with a staff of over 100 medical professionals by the end of the period covered. The book describes, in detail, an effort by the hospital to improve the conditions for its patients, by implementing a range of new treatments, therapies, occupational opportunities, and even recreational activities. The volume is a primary source document for scholars of the history of health care administration in the United States and a moving narrative of bravery and progress when confronting mental illness for anyone interested in the human condition.
