Whaddya reckon? That guy was smart.

>He made his reputation based on his experimental treatment ward for schizophrenics at the Shepard-Pratt Hospital, between 1925-29. He employed specially trained ward attendants to work with the patients to provide them with the peer relationships he believed they'd missed out on during the latency period of development. Doctors, nurses and other authority figures were banned from the ward. He believed there was a homosexual element to latency age peer relationships and that a failure to go through this stage led to self-loathing, a withdrawal from the world in fantasy and psychosis, and a failure to move on to heterosexual adjustment. Thus the patients, who were all young male homosexuals as well as schizophrenics, in their positive interactions with the attendants, also young male homosexuals, would heal the wounds from missing male intimacy as pre-adolescents.

And Joanne Greenberg "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" was a patient of hers.

That's certainly a refreshing viewpoint.
