Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book highlights the conditions and treatment of the mentally ill in Canada, predominantly focusing on the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The author presents statistical breakdowns of the number of patients occupying the various institutions, and draws a distinction between the treatment of insane and idiotic individuals. While the author emphasizes the advancements made in Ontario's asylums, with their implementation of modern views and practices, they also critically examine the conditions found in Quebec's institutions, particularly the Hospice des Alienà s de St. Jean de Dieu in Longue Pointe. The author's observations expose the inhumane treatment and lack of resources at this facility. Through this exploration, the book sheds light on the broader historical context of mental healthcare and the stark disparities that existed within the Canadian healthcare system.
