Abstract/Notes

For the better part of four decades, treatment of the mentally ill was a highly-motivated discipline within the chiropractic profession.  At least a half-dozen substantial institutions existed, which emphasized a positive treatment approach in a no-nonsense atmosphere, and with considerable individual attention to the patient.

Documentation, both in and out of the profession, suggest that standards of care in chiropractic institutions was superior to that expected in state hospitals during the period observed.  The author, who was associated with one of these progressive institutions for some 20 years, reviews this fascinating chiropractic experiment and details the reasons for its eventual demise.

Paper read by Walter I. Wardwell, Ph.D. before the third Conference on Chiropractic History, National College of Chiropractic, Lombard, Ill., June 4, 1983.
