The Lives They Left Behind: Suitcases from a State Hospital Attic

Average rating
4 out of 5
Based on 46 Ratings and 46 Reviews

Book Description
More than four hundred abandoned suitcases filled with patients' belongings were found when Willard Psychiatric Center closed in 1995 after 125 years of operation. In this fully-illustrated social history, they are skillfully examined and compared to the written record to create a moving-and devastating-group portrait of twentieth-century American psychiatric care.
