This was a great book. It looks into a few select patients of the state hospitals based on the materials left behind in suitcases. Gives a historical perspective so you can understand why some of the treatment for these patients were handled in the manner they were. Sad, yet interesting. Only wish they would have had more patients stories reviewed from the many materials left behind during deinstatuitionalization of the homes for mentally impared.
