Prof. S. S. Korsakov "Bed keeping during the treatment of acute forms of mental illnesses and the changes caused by them in the organization of institutions for the mentally ill". Journal of neurops. and psychiatr. named after S. S. Korsakov. 1901 book. I and II

Having cited in detail the Russian literature on bed keeping, the author noted the fact that the contradictory views on bed keeping occur apparently from the confusion of understanding about bed keeping, as a healing method and as a special system. Having indicated for the first time such a difference, the author analyzes the issue in detail from these two sides. The main principle of the system of bedding should be the creation in the hospital of that "atmosphere", which by itself contributes to the fact that the mentally ill use the content in bed as much as they need.
