from the preface: This book presents the results of a national experiment aimed at finding the parameters of social change in mental health organizations. While the experiment involves most mental hospitals in the nation, it is the hope of the experimenters that the groundwork has been laid for innovation util- ization experiments that transcend the mental health area. For it is the firm conviction of the authors that the major survival issue man will have to solve in the latter part of the 20th century and in the 21st century in- volves changing his institutional practices, behaviors, and values in more innovative directions

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: ” A Good pair of simultaneous equations for the student of comparative corrections to keep in mind is:
Interdisciplinary is Good Custodial is Bad.
I mention this algebra now because I intend to subiect the interdisci- plinary concept to an abrasive treatment which may open questions about my loyalties. I believe in these equations. Purely custodial insti- tutions constitute nearly all non-interdisciplinary endeavor in corrections. Custodial correctional practice is making no strides to anywhere.

This is a study of national character as well as an investigation of the Scandinavian suicide phenomenon. Denmark, Sweden, and Norway have all been described as "social welfare states" and they are related historically as well as geographically. Yet the suicide rates in Denmark and Sweden are among the world's highest and are almost three times the strikingly low suicide rate inNorway. Seeking to understand this phenomenon, D.r Herbert Hendin of the Columbia University Psychoanalytic Clinic undertook a four-year study of suicide ni the Scandinavian countries. Using psychoanalytic techniques, he interviewed suicidal and non-suicidal patients as well as non-patients. He correlates the picture of the Norwegian, Swede, and Dane that emerges from Suicide and Scandinavia with the literature and folk tales of each country and also with such sources of popular culture as cartoons and stories in women's magazines.

FROM THE PREFACE: “ It should also go without saying that no disparagement is meant by the word "sect." No fine distinctions of definition are drawn between churches, denominations, and sects, and the words may be found used interchangeably. As a glance at Webster will show, all religious bodies may be, and often are, referred to as sects; the "sects" in continentalEurope are the very bodies which in America are the largest denomina- tions, the Methodists, Baptists, and others.While disagreeing at many, perhaps at most, points with the attitudes, beliefs, and interpretations of these small sects, I deem them quite impor- tant in our religious milieu; I have respect for their adherents' sincerity and recognize spiritual values in their service. I have endeavored to maintain a strictly unbiased, certainly an unprejudiced a n d sympathetic, attitude, in so far as this is possible to one outside their own circle of believers. In the small sects one sees religion as it springs naturally from the naïve and simple heart that craves touch with the supernatural, and is unaffected by the conventions and the scientific leanings of a sophisti cated society.”

FROM THE FORWARD: How should this change? Answers to these questions are offered here in describing and assessing the career of Richard A. McGee (1897-1983), who was one of themost successful promoters of ways to control crime, yet always dissatisfied with what he achieved. McGee's work in corrections began in 1931 as director of education in a federal prison. From 1935 to 1941 he supervised New York City penal facilities, then headed the Department of Public Institutions for the state of Washington, and from 1944 until his retirement in 1967, he directed California's state correctional programs. Throughout his years in justice agencies, and in retirement, McGee published extensively, and had numerous national and international offices and honors. This book draws much from his lucid writings.

From Chapter 2: “Trying to unravel the skein of complexity called youth is itself a diffi- cult task. T o understand the meaning of violence, a most elusive and generic term, is equally challenging. To describe the combined concepts is acompounded problem. Even the best of our efforts to understand or to control the relationship between youth and violence is fraught with speculation. But to this imperfect description we still grope for ways to treat, process, handle, and control the youth who are violent or appear headed for violent behavior. Among the problems involved in this combined analysis is the ab. sence of sufficient and valid kinds of scientific data. Operational defini- tions of youth violence are not clear, rigorous, or precise except in official police and juvenile court statistics, and these are subject to sam- pling bias and other limits ontheir validity.”

FROM THE PREFACE: Deviance iscommonly regarded as 'badness' and deserving to be treated by punishment and imprisonment, or as 'madness' and requiring treatment by medicines and hospitalisation At the extremes of deviant behaviour this labelling and all that goes with it causes the majority oft h e public few qualms of conscience. The immediate problem is solved in that society is protected from the 'bad' individual by secluding him in prison, whilst the 'mad' individual is saved from the conse- quences of his actions by being secluded in a mental hospital….”

From he cover: The field of community psychiatry has been called "the third psychiatric revolution," the first major breakthrough in the field since the awakening of humanitarian concern among psychiatrists, and the Freudian scientific era. This third revolution can be broadly defined as the attempt by the community to use inter- related services to deal with the preventive and rehabilitative mental health problems of its people. For the psychiatrist, this new movement will mean less emphasis on intensive psychotherapy and more attention to the sociology of his community.

From the Preface: “When, more than twenty years ago, I began to work on The Myth of Mental Illness, I unwittingly undertook an enter­prise that assumed a life of its own. My initial aim was merely to demonstrate that mental illness was fake or meta­phorical illness and that psychiatry was fake or metaphorical medicine. But there was no stopping. I followed from this that men­tal hospitalization was not the therapeutic intervention it was officially claimed to be. If involuntary, as had been typical throughout the history of psychiatry, hospitalization was ex­pulsion from society; and if voluntary, as was sometimes the modern arrangement, then it was escape from society. Ac­cordingly, I next devoted myself to an examination and expo­sition of the complex historical, linguistic, moral, and socio­logical aspects of various psychiatric ideas and interventions, many of which are characterized by an insidious and per­vasive combination of disease with deviance, illness with im­morality, cure with control, treatment with torture. The present work is an effort to complete the demytholo- gizing of psychiatry begun inThe Myth of Mental Illness….”

From the cover: “Sane Asylum is the true account of San Francisco's De- lancey Street Foundation, where former hookers, junkies, thieves, and murderers operate their own restaurant, mov- ing company, credit union, florist shop, and high school. Author and psycho-sociologist Charles Hampden-Turner came to observe the country's most successful rehabilita- tion center and was so intrigued that he stayed for a year. Recorded here is the human drama of which he became a part; the remoldingof lives and "games" members of the community are required to play searching out their inner selves. He also provides a fascinating portrait of Delancey Street's director, "a charismatic, tough-talking, street character; a macho, irreverent Irish-Bronx ex-con named John Maher. A fascinating account forall readers, Sane Asylum is an affectionate, totally honest look at America's pioneer com- munity in social rehabilitation- one which is succeeding where all the others have failed.”

From the Introduction: “…Knowing that many participants from other countries have similar interests, it was decided to prepare this document on new and promising measures found in the United States with reference to the last three topics on the 1965 United Nations Congress agenda, namely:

• Measures to combat recidivism (with particular reference to adverse conditions of detention pending trial and inequality in the Administration of Justice.)

• Probation (especially adult probation) and other noninstitutional measures.

• Social preventive and treatment measures for young adults”

From the Preface: “When the social historian of the future looks back to the first half of the twentieth century with the detachment that comes with the passage of time, it will by then be apparent that amongst the revolutionary changes to be credited to that period, two at least were of vital importance to the development of humanism: the liberation of psychology from thefetters of aconscious rationalism, and the subsequent emancipation of sociology from the more primitive superstitions and moralistic conceptions of crime. It will also be apparent that this twin movement towards a new liberalism owed its impetus to the researches of a late- Victorian scientist, Sigmund Freud, who first uncovered the unconscious roots ofthat uniquely human reaction which goes by the name of 'guilt' and which is responsible for a brood of moralistic concepts, including those of sin, punishment, expiation and the sacrifice of scapegoats.”

From the cover: “In articles written especially for this book nine social scientists explore the complex social relations between prisoners, guards, administrators, teachers, tradesmen, and professional personnel in prisons. Not only are their insights use- ful in solving the unique problems of prison organization, but the articles also provide a new perspective for under- standing larger societies. One question particularly challenged the researchers: What causes a prisoner to become "hardened" or rehabilitated or to remain unaffected by his prison expe rience: They found that an inmate's be- havior is shaped not so much by his own personality traits as by his relationships with other people and with groups. In fact, many traits of the individual inmates and staff members are properties of the organization - not of the person.”

From the cover: “Behavior modification is one of the newest approaches to correctional rehabilitation and management, challenging traditional thinking about the classification and remediation of the problems experienced by criminals, delinquents, and disturbed persons. How does behavior modification compare with established psychological methods? What principles are followed, and what techniques are used? Have favorable results been achieved by institutions adopting a behavior modification program? This major study answers all these questions and more, concluding that behavior modification has consider- able promise as an effective and ethical approach to rehabilitation and management.”

From the Preface:”The policies of deinstitutionalization, first implemented over fifteen years ago and designed to transfer the care of the mentally ill from hospitals to local communities, have affected many public and private groups of society. A few groups have found themselves with a disproportionate amount of additional responsibilities not always with a concomitant allocation of resources. Law enforcement is one of these segments.”

From the Preface: The three types of deviance discussed in this book lie at the borderline of crime.There has long been dispute as to whether they shouldbecon- sidered crimes, sins, vices, diseases, or simply as patterns of social deviance. In each case the offending behavior involves a willing and private exchange of strongly demanded yet officially proscribed goods and services; this element of consent precludes the existence of a victim--in the usual sense of the word. Each of these problems also has certain medical--as well as legal, psychological, and sociological-aspects. Although this complexity has fostered useful research and analysis by specialists in various fields, it has also produced a somewhat confusing range of views as to the methods with which such behavior should be dealt. To the extent that sociologists have studied these borderline problems at all, their goal of detached scientific observation (of "ethical neutrality") has inhibited whatever in- terest they might feel in directly challenging substantive criminal law provisions.

From Chapter 1: “Imprisonment generates some degree of pressure in each and every inmate. Prison pressures may lead inmates to choose one or more strategies of coping with their environment. The array of interactions in prison is a mixture of both pressures and reactions to pressures. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing the prisoner's pressures. The second half of the chapter will focus on alternatives to ameliorate these pressures. Later chapters will present the results from studies of particular pressures and/or coping responses within prison.”
