Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Psychiatry, 1915-1916, Vol. 72: Published Under the Auspices of the American Medico-Psychological Association Society has in recent years manifested a sound and stimulating interest in the progress of psychiatry. We have begun to see the fruits of this attention in the crystallization Of some of its knowledge in legislation - much of it enlightened and beneficial in its results. Psychiatry, to meet the demands of an awakened public conscience for additional truth, is broadening the field of its inquiries. We, on our part, have devoted much time and study to the care Of the insane, and have accomplished much in the planning, construction and equipment of institutions for better housing, classification and treatment. For this purpose and under our advice and direction society, through its various units Of government, has applied millions and millions Of dollars for construction, and for upkeep, maintenance and treatment vast sums are annually expended, making it the largest, costliest, and best directed charity the world has ever known.
