Acts of Conscience: World War II, Mental Institutions, and Religious Objectors - Critical Perspectives on Disability 1st edition
Steven Taylor
In the mid- to late 1940s, a group of young men rattled the psychiatric establishment by beaming a public spotlight on the squalid conditions and brutality in our nation's mental hospitals and training schools for people with psychiatric and intellectual disabilities. This book presents the extraordinary efforts of these courageous men.
