Synopsis
Excerpt from Cook County and the Mentally Handicapped: A Study of the Provisions for Dealing With Mental Problems in Cook County, Illinois; Report of Survey 1916-1917
Fortunately, these are not wholly matters for experiment. Modern studies in psychiatry have provided us with extremely useful means of diagnosis and classification, and enough work has already been done in different parts of the country to show which methods are advantageous and economical and which are disadvantageous and wasteful. Perhaps nowhere in the United States has a more successful attempt been made to bring the resources of the study of the mind to bear upon the solution of social problems than in Boston. Here, the Psychopathic Hospital stands ready to serve the community in whatever way it can. The parent with a deficient child, the magistrate with a problem in delinquency, the teacher with an unusual pupil, all can bring their troubles to the Psychopathic Hospital and secure the best advice that men trained in this work are able to give.
