This research paper: A 5 page discussion of the state of mental care as it existed in the mid 1850s and how this care has evolved over time. Focusing on the Kalamazoo Asylum, this paper notes the inadequacies and the historical circumstances which created them. While facilities such as the Kalamazoo Asylum may have been considered a reflection of enlightened public policy in its heyday, today they are considered an antiquity which should be abolished.
