How Psychiatry and the Law Abandoned the Mentally Ill


BY RAEL JEAN ISAAC AND VIRGINIA C. ARMAT


FINALLY BACK IN PRINT: MADNESS IN THE STREETS, originally published in September 1990, is mandatory reading for anyone who asks why thousands of individuals who clearly suffer from brain disease go without care. The Treatment Advocacy Center is proud to republish Madness in the Streets so that this valuable tool for reform continues to remain available to them, and to all who ask, "How can we stop this neglect?"
