Treasure. Soul suffering. — Kazan. 1909. 122 pages

Abstract

A small book representing excerpts from the diary of one of the former patients of a psychiatric hospital. Interest lies both in the depiction of the author's flattering experiences, and in the description of the internal life of the hospital and those patients with whom the author had to live. The author's impression of the hospital is quite benevolent; From this side, we hope that the book will serve the purpose of disseminating among the general public the correct views on the internal life of asylums for the mentally ill and the attitude of the staff of asylums to the sick. It is high time to stop being afraid of comfortable institutions for the mentally ill.
