Its history provides a window to the changing nature of mental health services over the twentieth century. Built in 1921, the Saskatchewan Mental Hospital was billed as the last asylum in North America and the largest facility of its kind in the British Commonwealth. A decade later, the Canadian Committee for Mental Hygiene cited it as one of the worst institutions in the country, largely due to extreme overcrowding. In the 1950s, the Saskatchewan Mental Hospital again attracted international attention for engaging in controversial therapeutic interventions, including treatments using LSD. In the 1960s, sweeping health care reforms took hold in the province and mental health institutions underwent dramatic changes as they began moving patients into communities. As the patient and staff population shrank, the once palatial building fell into disrepair, the asylum's expansive farmland fell out of cultivation, and mental health services folded into a complicated web of social and correctional services. Managing Madness examines the Weyburn Mental Hospital, the people it housed, struggled to understand, help, or even tried to change, and the ever-shifting understanding of mental health."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMental health services$zSaskatchewan$xHistory 606 $aMentally ill$xInstitutional care$zSaskatchewan$xHistory 606 $aPsychiatric hospitals$zSaskatchewan$xHistory 615 0$aMental health services$xHistory. 615 0$aMentally ill$xInstitutional care$xHistory. 615 0$aPsychiatric hospitals$xHistory. 676 $a362.2 700 $aDyck$b Erika, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01158779 702 $aDyck$b Erika 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816899903321 996 $aManaging madness$94119210 997 $aUNINA
