Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Diseases, Vol. 14: Published Quarterly; April, 1930 Among the names which bulk large in the history of psychiatry one of the most conspicuous is that of Walter E. Fernald. Taking up as he did the problem of mental deficiency at a time when the care of the feeble-minded was essentially custodial, he developed the concept of training his charges with a view to fitting them for life in the community. This attitude, then new and almost revolutionary, has now become the accepted princi ple in the field of mental defect. Not only Massachusetts, but the entire civilized world, owes a debt of gratitude to the sagacity, humanity and foresight of this great man. It is as a token of this gratitude, and with pride in the accomplishment of a loyal servant of the Commonwealth, that the Department of Mental Diseases dedicates this issue of its Bulletin to the memory of Walter E. Fernald. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Gerald N. Grob's Mental Institutions in America: Social Policy to 1875 has become a classic of American social history. Here the author continues his investigations by a study of the complex interrelationships of patients, psychiatrists, mental hospitals, and government between 1875 and World War II. Challenging the now prevalent notion that mental hospitals in this period functioned as jails, he finds that, despite their shortcomings, they provided care for people unable to survive by themselves. From a rich variety of previously unexploited sources, he shows how professional and political concerns, rather than patient needs, changed American attitudes toward mental hospitals from support to antipathy. Toward the end of the 1800s psychiatrists shifted their attention toward therapy and the mental hygiene movement and away from patient care. Concurrently, the patient population began to include more aged people and people with severe somatic disorders, whose condition recluded their caring for themselves. In probing these changes, this work clarifies a central issue of decent and humane health care. Gerald N. Grob is Professor of History at Rutgers University. Among his works are Mental Institutions in America: Social Policy to 1875 (Free Press), Edward Jarvis and the Medical World of Nineteenth-Century America (Tennessee), and The State and the Mentality III (North Carolina).
