PART 11—Trends in the Devel-Because fresh air and country

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.
