I would like to note that today I converted this from a redirect to a full article by transferring the contents of the "History" section of the psychiatry article. The history of that article should be consulted for determining the authorship of the material here. I am not the author of any of the substantive material in the article at this time, although I intend to make some edits in the near future. Looie496 ( talk) 13:40, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply

I suggest this article be merged into history of psychiatric institutions. Sondra.kinsey ( talk) 17:37, 1 December 2016 (UTC) reply
