Administrative Psychiatry

Originally published in 1937, Administrative Psychiatry was the first book to present theory and practice in a hospital for psychiatric patients. Every detail of the organization and direction of a psychiatric hospital is described in this volume. Everything advocated in this volume had passed the test of actual trial, the principles set forth having been in continuous operation over a period of years before the book was written. A pioneering text at the time, today it can be read in its historical context.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1937. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
