Produktinformationen zu „Dorothea Dix (PDF)“
By exposing the sickening conditions people with mental illness endured in jails, almshouses, and basement cells, Dorothea Dix (1802-1887) single-handedly transformed the U.S. system of mental health care in the 19th century.

Her tireless research and personal lobbying of legislators led to construction of asylums for the mentally ill in state after state.
