The relocation of treatment from chronic hospital settings to outpatient community mental health centers is, in great part, due to the efficacy of antipsychotics. Naturalistic studies before the era of psychotropics revealed that two of three psychotic patients (primarily schizophrenic) spent most of their lives in state asylums. Before the mid-1950 s, there had been a steady increase in state hospital populations, which paralleled the general population growth, but after the introduction of antipsychotics, there was a marked reduction in those hospitalized for various psychoses. Presently, more than 95% of these patients live outside of the hospital, even though many continue to relapse or demonstrate residual symptoms. Thus, although the antipsychotics have not been a panacea, they make community-based care a reality for many who would otherwise have remained chronically institutionalized. 

At the Massachusetts Mental Health Center (MMHC), a small group of chronically ill schizophrenic patients who were treated by senior psychoanalysts deteriorated when a placebo was substituted for thioridazine. Further, there was no evidence that the drugs made patients less responsive to psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy and, in fact, many were more responsive to the psychotherapeutic process when on thioridazine ( 411,412 and 413). 

The first dream had to do with the dairy barn that I am restoring on my farm in Vermont. I was talking to Bob Limlaw, the master builder-carpenter who is doing the work. The second dream had to do with pipe leaks in my recently rebuilt farm house, also in Vermont, but all of the characters and themes referred to my laboratory in Boston, which badly needs remodeling now. The third dream concerned the bizarre and unique 1912-period office furniture that was being pilfered by my hospital colleagues as they anticipated the imminent closing of the Massachusetts Mental Health Center. 

How could I not, for example, have recognized that the rooms I saw in dream three were entirely imaginary No such rooms exist in the real Massachusetts Mental Health Center, where I have worked for the past 38 years And how could I not immediately be suspicious that the furniture that I took to be vintage 1912 armoires and cabinets were the ersatz creation of my dreaming brain ...

Shock advocates claim that newer modifications have made the treatment much safer and that its negative public image is unfairly based on the older methods. However, the most basic modifications—anesthesia, paralysis, and artificial respiration—are not new at all. I prescribed and administered this kind of modified treatment more than four decades ago (1963-1964) as a resident at Harvard Medical School s main psychiatric teaching facility, the Massachusetts Mental Health Center.

In an archival study conducted on 298 clients who were treated by a mental health center, three issues predominated among older clients family conflicts, poor physical health, and feeling as if they were not in control of their lives (Mosher-Ashley, 1994).
