PowerPoint Presentation- "Most state hospitals today are better managed and provide more humane care than those of the 19th and early 20th centuries" (Nevid, Rathus, & Greene, 2011, p. 129). The question to you is, "How did this change occur"? For this assignment, you will create a PowerPoint slide presentation on the deinstitutionalization of mental hospitals. You will want to conduct research on a state psychiatric hospital, and include the following information in your presentation:
The history of the hospital:
Key players such as activists, doctors, and superintendents who played a role in the hospitals history and deinstitutionalization.
- Past and present treatment of patients
- What brought about changes and reform to the hospital?
- What is the current status of the hospital?
