TitleA Father's Search Through America's Mental Health MadnessAuthorPublished 0000
Status:Check Shelves SubjectSelf HelpCategorySelf HelpTypeParent ResourcesDescription
This is the Earley family's compelling story, a troubling look at bureaucratic apathy and the countless thousands who suffer confinement instead of care, brutal conditions instead of treatment, in the “revolving doors” between hospital and jail. With mass deinstitutionalization, large numbers of state mental patients are homeless or in jail-an experience little better than the horrors of a century ago. Earley takes us directly into that experience—and into that of a father and award-winning journalist trying to fight for a better way.
