Description: Examines the success of homeopathic psychiatric asylums in the United States from the 1870s until 1920 Focuses on New York's Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital for the Insane which had a treatment regime with thousands of successful outcomes Details a homeopathic blueprint for treating mental disorders based on Talcott's methods including nutrition and side - effect - free homeopathic prescriptions In the late 1800s and early 1900s homeopathy was popular across all classes of society. In the United States there were more than 100 homeopathic hospitals more than 1,000 homeopathic pharmacies and 22 homeopathic medical schools. In particular homeopathic psychiatry flourished from the 1870s to the 1930s with thousands of documented successful outcomes in treating mental illness. Revealing the astonishing but suppressed history of homeopathic psychiatry Jerry M. Kantor examines the success of homeopathic psychiatric asylums in America from the post Civil War era until 1920, including how the madness of Mary Todd Lincoln was effectively treated with homeopathy at a sane asylum in Illinois. He focuses in particular on New York's Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital where superintendent Selden Talcott oversaw a compassionate and holistic treatment regime that married Thomas Kirkbride's moral treatment principles to homeopathy. Kantor reveals how homeopathy was pushed aside by pharmaceuticals which often caused more harm than good as well as how the current critical attitude toward homeopathy has distorted the historical record. Offering a vision of mental health care for the future predicated on a model that flourished for half a century Kantor shows how we can improve the care and treatment of the mentally ill and stop the exponential growth of terminal mental disorder diagnoses that are rampant today.
