An extremely scarce and important document in mental health care. Gives fascinating insights into a facility which was quite progressive for its time, with all the details in its day-to-day administration and its stewardship of those in need of psychiatric care. This is another volume from the library of Dr. Manfred S. Guttmacher, a noted forensic psychiatrist and medical historian, and one of the architects of the insanity plea.
