Severely mentally ill people were warehoused at institutions in the 1950s and treated as sub-human. The author was a medical student who signed on as a research assistant at Manteno State Hospital when he witnessed shock treatments and worse. He felt helpless working in a system he could not change and so kept a diary of everything he saw and experienced. The author expresses that today, while the system is still not perfect, having the medications we do have greatly increased the ability of the mentally ill to manage their disease and live a normal life. This is a book for those who are interested in the history of the treatment of America's mentally ill population who were institutionalized for "their own good"
