PART 11—Trends in the Devel-Because fresh air and country life were believed to be im- bpinent Of Mental Health, portant •in treatment; hospitals were located in rural areas Services. The patients whp have had most to do with determining the nature of public mental rtalealltk services. Ore those whose' illness is manifested in the form of unusual or *iolent he- havior or suicidal tendencies. It is often forgotten that the com- munity has generally absorbed a large number of individuals with personality problems, emo- tional disturbances and dis- ordered thinking. If, however. a ' person becomes' ' violent, it is no' longer possible to care for him in his ueua1 surround- ings and so be is removed to other quarters. Clearly,. facilities: • for such care have not always been avail- able and so recourse was, in the beginning, to jails. Even today the confinement of men- tally ill patients to jails is a temporary measure employed when more suitable accommoda- tion is unavailable. However, officials are now more aware of the care required in'such cases and situations of degradation to the afflicted human beings such as existed in the past are rare - The overcrowding .with the mentally ill of jails and sim- ilar institutions intended for other purposes led to the estab- lishment of the firs, mental hospitals. • Conditions in these institu- tions were scarcely better• than: in the prisons because they served, in the absence of any ,available--s-peei#ic treatment, they sande custodial function. Simple measures were employed which, while being protective to the public; were riot calculated to benefit the patients: destroyed clothing was an expense which could be obviated by issuing strong (though uncomfortable) clothes or .removing clothes al- together. Patients with uncon- trolled bowel habits were hous- ed naked. in rooms with straw- .eovered: floors to ,allow - easy •cleaning. Equally harmful to the mental •health of the pat- ients ;was the "care" meted out by the custodians. The job -at- tracted individuals of a cruel sadistic, bent who were poorly educated and interested only in maintaining security and in keeping expenses down. The )public attitude was equally malignant, for the better edu WHY B o R R OwON EY Since most patients were ex- pected to remain in hospital for years and were seldom visited, -t-he grea -distances -which pate Tentsand relatives had to travel were not felt ttei be of import- ance. In Ontario, the necessity of discovering the causes and of preventing mental illness led to the establishment of the psychiatric hospital •in Toronto, It was to be the first of several. such small hospitals in univers- ity -centres devoted to investig- ating mental illness. Outpat- ientervices were instituted with the intention of prevent- ing serious illness, •by the early application of psychological treatment methods. Then, in the 1930's, by chance, it was dis-, covered ,that insulin induced coma ad electrically -induced convulsive seizures Were effec- psychiatry. , In the 1950's, drugs were discovered that further ad- vanced treatment of mental ill- ness. More and more patients were receiving effective treat- ment, and the discharge rate im- proved greatly. Moreover, it was now possible to administer treatment outside of mental hospita'is. and in general hos- pitals. These rapid changes forced a re -thinking of pot -dee- _in the mental_health. •field_ First.` i was now apparent that the m tai • hospital was as useful for investigation and treatment of mental illness • as thesmaller psychiatrc 'hospitals. eThen, up to the present 'at .any, rate, the statistical records fail to show that mental health clinic ser- vices result in decrease in the number of severe illnesses. What was necessary, it became clear, was a replanning of pub- lic mental •health services to provide a full range of facilities to take advantage of new treat- ments: outpatient services, short stay wards, long treatment wards, and so on, each strategic- ally located to provide service where it is needed.
