Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of events surrounding a public investigation into the conduct of a superintendent of an insane asylum. The superintendent, the author, provides a record of both the investigation itself, and the background and history of the asylum from its inception to the present day. He discusses the history of asylums in general, and how the one he operates was founded with the intent that its primary objective would be the welfare of its patients, and the comfort and care of the unfortunate. He emphasizes that the asylum�s administration and conduct should be above partisan action, and should instead be solely dedicated to its charitable purpose. The author describes how, despite his efforts to maintain this non-partisan stance, he was nevertheless subjected to a politically motivated investigation, and how his accusers fabricated and sensationalized their charges. He provides evidence to demonstrate how the accusations of financial impropriety, cruelty to patients, and immoral conduct were false, and he details the various ways in which these malicious claims nearly cost him his reputation, his career, and his life�s work. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the history of asylums and the treatment of mental illness, as well as those interested in the intersection of politics and public institutions. It is a thought-provoking examination of the importance of maintaining ethical standards and the devastating effects of political maneuvering and personal vendettas on the lives of individuals and the institutions they serve. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332282838_0
