Inside Oregon State Hospital: A History of Tragedy and Triumph, Hardcover - Diane L. Goeres-Gardner

Detalii:

DescriptionSeen through the eyes of the patients who lived there, Inside Oregon State Hospital examines the world of the Northwests oldest mental hospital, established in 1883. In desperate attempts to cure their patients, physicians injected them with deadly medications, cut holes in their heads, and sterilized them. Years of insufficient funding caused the hospital to decay into a crumbling facility with too few staff, as seen in the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. Today, after a $360 million makeover, Oregon State Hospital is a modern treatment hospital for the states civil and forensic mentally ill. In this compelling account of the institutions tragedies and triumphs, author Diane Goeres-Gardner offers an unparalleled look at the very human story of Oregons historic asylum.
