A must for those who want to best understand the history of mental institutions

Early mental hospitals were little more than containment facilities. "Hanging Onto Sanity: As State Hospital Staff" is a look at how early mental institutions were handled. There were those who worked at these hospitals who truly cared, but there was only so much they could do when the state could care less. A first person account of how mental facilities changed over a three decade period, and filled with intriguing stories ranging from affairs to clockophiles, "Hanging Onto Sanity" is a must for those who want to best understand the history of mental institutions and be entertained as they learn.
