Product Information
In his witty and warm history of Worcester State Hospital, founded in 1833 as the first state insane asylum established in this nation, Dr. Enoch Callaway reflects not just on the events in this fortress-like place, but also on how those events parallel advances and failures in the field of psychiatry itself. In addition to patient/psychiatrist vignettes showing treatment techniques of the period--from farm work to early electric shock therapy and insulin treatments that put schizophrenics in a 90-minute coma--Callaway also offers sharp insight into "natural" treatments that showed remarkable results and unexpected recoveries stimulated by tools as simple as a hand mirror. At times, Worcester may seem brutal, at other times its simplicity seems pure and caring. There are marvelous successes, and times when the facility seems no more than a warehouse for the mentally ill. Callaway argues that this history offers lessons about the treatment--and options for better treatment--of the mentally ill in society today. Throughout the text, the author weaves in comparisons to books and movies about the mentally ill and the facilities that have housed them. He includes literary works such as Madness in the Streets, Out of the Shadows and I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, as well as cinematic classics like The Snake Pit, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and A Beautiful Mind. Each either reflects or directly opposes procedures, patients, treatments, tribulations, or compassion as they existed at Worcester. Asylums such as Worcester were places that sheltered the mentally ill from harm they might do themselves and others, and from the criminal justice system. With asylums near extinct now, thementally ill are again being herded into the criminal justice system where they get little to no mental health care. Can the successes and failures of a hospital that closed a half-century ago guide us toward something better? Readers from all walks of life will find this text at once absorbing, disturbing, amusing, painfully serious, and tremendously insightful.

Reviews
"Enoch Callaway has written an entertaining, idiosyncratic story of Worcester State Hospital….This is a personal history, and an opinionated one, giving it an almost conversational tone. He largely shuns jargon, and writes clearly and with humor." - Metapsychology Online, ". . . frank, witty, and humane. . . . valuable in vividly revealing the personal experiences of a resident in psychiatry and the state of institutional psychiatry in mid-twentieth century America." - Lamar Soutter Library, "Callaway looks back at those early years of training with fondness, humor, and wisdom. He asks the reader to pull up a chair, sit down, and listen to his recollections about the psychiatry of 60 years ago, see how it has evolved, and note his concerns about psychiatry today. His is a genial, generous memoir, amply illustrated with instructive anecdotes of patients and professionals who visited the hospital….As a memoir, it charmingly has much to teach the student and professional." - PsycCritiques, "This book is a great read, and not only for mental health professionals. It also has relevance for lawyers, lawmakers, civil planners, and administrators.... Asylum: A Mid-Century Madhouse and Its Lessons About Our Mentally Ill Today consists mostly of Dr. Callaway's vivid memoirs: a more or less sequential cornucopia of many vignettes in short chapters only 2 or 3 pages long that are funny, poignant, intensley personal, and sometimes quite sharp-edged but never frivolous or lacking in common-sense perspective." -- Journal of the American Medical Association "Enoch Callaway has written an entertaining, idiosyncratic story of Worcester State Hospital....This is a personal history, and an opinionated one, giving it an almost conversational tone.
