Abstract

In parallel with this, he acquaints the reader with the development of charity for the mentally ill in 3. Europe. All transitions in the view of the mentally ill, reflected in the forms of attitude towards them on the part of the administration and society, both in our country and abroad, are described by the author by periods, in some detail, with reference to documentary data. The attitude towards the mentally ill, as the sick, has been established in Russia only since 1762.
