Yeah, I have the grand sweeping theoretical approach down. I need to know on a day-to-day basis how they were treated.
I did find some info on the Burghölzli when Jung was working there, but I am not certain how much we can draw from that.
Certainly there was a move away from asylums to state hospitals and shock therapy didn't commence until the end of the 20s, but with all the immigration (some 5,000 people a day into Ellis Island from Eastern Europe) and discussion of eugenics and "undesirables" in the changing society, I can't help but wonder how those deemed "insane" were treated.
Of course, my fic deals with the treatment of an affluent member of society, but I would like to know what was going on with the others.
