Report On Fifty-Two Border-Line Cases in the Rome State Custodial Asylum (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781023828420)

This is a report on fifty-two cases of alleged "border-line" feeble-mindedness at the Rome State Custodial Asylum, presented to the State Board of Charities in December 1914. It offers a glimpse into the practices and perspectives surrounding the institutionalization of individuals with intellectual disabilities during the early 20th century.

The report details the findings of the Board's Standing Committee on Idiots and Feeble-Minded, providing insights into the diagnostic criteria and social attitudes of the era. It provides historical value for researchers and those interested in the evolution of mental health care and the history of eugenics in the United States.
