Sane Asylums: The Success of Homeopathy before Psychiatry Lost Its Mind

This explores the success of homeopathic psychiatric asylums in the United States from the 1870s to 1920, focusing on New York's Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital for the Insane. The hospital, led by superintendent Selden Talcott, provided a compassionate and holistic treatment regime that combined Thomas Kirkbride's moral treatment principles with homeopathy. It also details a homeopathic blueprint for treating mental disorders based on Talcott's methods, including nutrition and side-effect-free prescriptions.
