Book Description
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases, Vol. 3: January, 1919 The recognition of the fact that social conditions play a large part in the causation of disease holds the hospital responsible for the welfare of the patient after discharge from the hospital. Hospital problems are therefore social as well as medical, and accordingly there is need of trained social service workers, as well as physicians. The two must recognize a common ground in their treatment of sickness and disease in the community. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases, 1918, Vol. 1 John S thirty-eight years of age; American born; shoe-worker; widower with eight children. This patient had used alcohol to excess for a short time, and this was an important factor in his case. Investi gation revealed the fact that inadequate income and sickness had made it impossible for this patient to supply his family with sufficient food. He frequently went to work without food, substituting a breakfast with a glass of beer. Loneliness, discouragement, inadequate income and sickness were the real needs in this man's case. The house in which he and his family lived was in the midst of a saloon district; the rooms, six in number, were small, meagerly furnished and extremely untidy. Sanitary conditions were far below the standard; five children were sleeping in one small attic room; the eldest, a boy of nineteen years, was tubercular in appearance and complained of ill health. A daughter of sixteen years was acting as housekeeper, had received no training and had left school at fourteen years of age to help at home. This little flock of motherless children, whose father was a patient at the hospital, was supported by the small wages received by the two elder boys, aver ag'ng about $12 a week, of which went to a relative for rent, an exorbitant rent for value received. The inadvisability of returning a patient to these conditions is very obvious. The family was advised to move, and guidance and financial assistance were secured to enable them to do so. A friend promised to see that patient secured work when able to leave the hospital. Urgent appeals are being made for a middle-aged woman to keep house and help in the training and care of the younger children. The family is now living in a new, comfortable tenement in a good neighborhood; they are united and happy. Frequent home visiting will be necessary for some time, for this is an example of recon structive work previously mentioned.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases Yet the number of actual entities (ih the medical sense of this term as a kind of collection of symptoms) in which delusions do form a central feature makes a formidable list. I may limit myself to the following actual or possible entities: paranoia, the paranoid form of dementia praecox, and the somewhat closely allied paraphrenia of Kraepelin's recent formulation, the ao-called acute alcoholic hallucinosis, or insanity of alcoholic origin, a number of forms of pre-senile psychoses, some forms of senile psychoses, to say nothing of various forms of syphilitic mental disease, as also manic-depressive psychosis, various mild or severe psychopathic conditions not ordinarily considered to amount to frank mental disease, and even such apparently remote entities, or groups of entities, as are found under the caption of epilepsy and feeble-mindedness.
