Abstract

This paper gives an historical sketch of American psychiatry and the many factors which finally led from the zenith of the state hospital system in the 1940s to the deinstitutionalization process and its dire consequences. Predictions are made about the future diagnosis, care, and treatment of schizophrenic patients, as well as public attitudes toward them that may develop. Some attention is given to consideration of a future and better state hospital.
