| Summary: |
This film describes changes that have occurred in the past 100 years in the care and treatment of the mentally ill in the United States. It includes interviews with Drs. Karl and William Menninger and Walter Cronkite, photographs, scenes at the Menninger Clinic and Kansas State Hospital, and simulated dramatizations to illustrate various aspects of the treatment program at the Foundation and Clinic. In part one, the old methods of isolating and punishing mentally ill patients in overcrowded, understaffed institutions are described. The efforts of physicians prominent in the early field of psychiatry are briefly reviewed. Drs. Karl and William Menninger then describe their more progressive approach. At present they have obtained a release rate of 70 percent of patients within 90 days, and an overall release rate of 85 percent. They discuss mental health, mental illness, juvenile delinquency, and criminal justice. In part two, Drs. Karl and William Menninger describe their treatment program for the mentally ill and a training program for psychiatrists and parapsychiatric staff members. A clinical conference is presented and milieu therapy is described. |
