Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the compelling history of the Custodial Asylum for Feeble-Minded Women at Newark, New York, established in the late 19th century. The author chronicles the asylum's origins, highlighting the growing recognition of the need for specialized care for this marginalized population. The book explores the social and political landscape of the time, detailing the challenges faced by advocates seeking to establish and fund such an institution. We witness the interplay between private philanthropy and state-funded initiatives, as well as the debate surrounding the best approach to managing and caring for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The author skillfully weaves together the personal stories of those who championed the asylum, from dedicated physicians to influential philanthropists, with the institutional development itself. The book offers a poignant window into the evolution of societal attitudes toward mental disability, underscoring the significant role such institutions played in providing a humane alternative to the often harsh realities of poorhouses and neglect. This book provides a compelling exploration of a critical chapter in the history of mental health care and social welfare.
