Abandoned Asylums of Connecticut - Hardcover

by L. F. Blanchard (Author), Tammy Rebello (Author)

This collection of photographs, history, and firsthand accounts gives readers a glimpse at the roots of mental health. These vignettes are born of the personal stories of those who worked at these facilities, those who were institutionalized, and their families. The authors took the time to listen to their stories and endeavored to understand their past and recognize how these events continue to influence the mental health industry today. Pictured throughout are the physical relics of the places the now largely abandoned asylums of Connecticut where these stories unfurled."
