222:. He strongly condemns both a quantitative and qualitative lack of resources as the number one cause of the problems he witnessed, problems which included severe overcrowding, understaffing, lack of training of the present staff, frequent assaults committed by staff or fellow patients, physical deterioration of buildings paired with the deterioration of staff morale, over reliance on mechanical restraint of patients, logistical complications caused by segregation, political pressure to spend less and move patients out faster, etc. Overall, he describes a lack of adequate active care, and moreover, lack of even adequate "custodial care." He also distinguishes the mentally ill from less severe cases, writing, "if the plight of the mentally sick in state hospitals is generally appalling, the plight of families with low-grade mental defectives at home is desperate, too. It is all part of the tragic picture of the public neglect of the mentally handicapped." 239:
responsible for some tale of “asylum horror,” but rather the state hospital system itself—a system which has allowed its institutions to become “principally custodial” rather than “hospitals in the true sense of the word.” He denies the claim that “such conditions are an inevitable part of a state care system,” pointing to the reformed VA as an example. He recapitulates his view that "the public is ultimately responsible for the inhuman conditions that exist on the wards of many mental hospitals. But an uninformed public cannot exercise that responsibility constructively...It is up to hospital officials, in possession of the facts, to share them frankly with the public." He briefly describes conditions in three more hospitals—

the book, as well as the pervasiveness of the poor conditions uncovered and the fact that Deutsch can be considered a “lay expert” in this field. They commend Deutsch on a number of fronts: his courage in investigating these facilities, his compassion in describing the plight of the patients, his sensitivity to detail, and his acknowledgment that the conditions are not the fault of the “officials and doctors who run these hospitals.” “This book should be a must for our voters and legislators,” one reviewer from the Illinois Department of Public Welfare closes with, supporting Deutsch's view that disseminating the information he uncovered to the public was a matter of urgency.

figure also quoted by Deutsch, on the reaction of the public. “Dr. Stevenson said that he did not believe that it was so much a matter of apathy, but of a feeling in people that makes them say, ‘I don’t want to see the movie, ‘The Snake Pit,’’ or, ‘It makes me sick just to think of a mental hospital.’ There is an aroused interest in mental hospitals, but it is shown mainly by ‘pointing a finger at a Governor or a superintendent,’ he said, so that an unsatisfactory situation can be explained in terms ‘outside themselves.’” This was the very attitude that Deutsch was trying to counteract with

institutional facilities,” and having been initially charged with this task out of historical necessity, is therefore responsible for active care for the mentally ill regardless of their ability to pay. Deutsch describes how the bare minimum threshold of care, according to the APA, is not being met: state facilities are too small, tremendously overcrowded, and horrifically understaffed, they lack appropriate therapeutic equipment and are unable to engage in research or enact any possible new methods of care, and moreover foster an “atmosphere of defeatism.”
139:(COs), assigned as staffers to state mental hospitals in lieu of military service. The National Mental Health Foundation which Deutsch describes in the penultimate chapter was in fact founded by a group of these CO attendants. Deutsch himself also felt the end of World War II keenly, as a significant amount of his research and writing in 1945 was concentrated on conditions in veterans’ hospitals, with regards to both physical and psychiatric facilities—much what he discovered was published as a series on the maltreatment of veterans for the 158:
dropped as a wave of budget retrenchment has hit one state after another, with resulting deterioration of services. Apparent budget increases are eaten up by inflationary costs.” In this regard, the postwar context within which Deutsch was writing was again significant. Though he acknowledges that already dire staff shortages were made worse by the drafting of hundreds of medical professionals, he characterizes accusations that hospital conditions were worsened because of the war, having previously been quite good, as simply false.

state institutions and encouraging the development of centers for personalized treatment and rehabilitation, ultimately had mixed results. Today, most mentally ill people are either caught in a “revolving door” between their communities and a local institution, are homeless, or are in prison—the latter two living circumstances being precisely those that Deutsch cited in

He further characterizes Deutsch as familiar with “practical politics,” and thus accurate in his assessment that the system 64:, writing about public health, he was able to use many of his earlier experiences in visiting mental hospitals and speaking with key figures there as source material for this newest book.
