Significant trend Deap seen for mentally in treating mental illness in the same place and same general Way As medical illness is one of the most significant develop ments of this age and promises a much better Deal for the men tally the medical superintendent of the Selkirk Hospital for mental diseases said in Winnipeg Friday. Or. R. H. Taverner told the conference of the Canadian society of Hospital pharmacists that the general Hospital would increasingly become the area of treatment for much of men Tal illness. The Hospital pharmacists Are meeting Here in conjunction with the Canadian pharmaceutical association s annual convention. Or. Taverner said that at one stage psychiatrists were worried that their patients would t be accepted in Beds next to medical patients but this has changed. Most general hospitals had designated wards for treatment of emotional disorders and the numbers treated there exceeded those treated anywhere else except in private offices. Psychiatric wards this trend would continue. One would see wards and perhaps whole wings go into the general hospitals in Winnipeg St. Boniface and St. James to provide psychiatric treatment. In Rural general hospitals he said this practice was not Al ways feasible because of the size of the wards. But where psychiatric consultation was Avail Able the hospitals were admitting and treating cases in their Gen eral medical Beds i in keeping with this trend the mental hospitals would be smaller serving the Region where its patients lived and would be closely coordinated with other treatment Sites. Still be the Choice of Centre for lengthy treatments however. Community psychiatric clinics dealing intimately with the local problem in its local con text would serve As outpatient departments of the larger Urban general hospitals. Fantastic Advance or. Taverner described the developments in psychiatry in the last 10 to 20 years As fan in the past he psychiatry was linked with magic and mysticism a relationship it has Only been Able to break in the last Century or he listed eight develop ments in his Century which had helped psychiatry to become accepted As among these were the empirical development of insulin coma therapy in 1936, electro convulsive therapy in the 1940s, the dramatic breakthrough in the Field of pharmaceuticals the acceptance of psychiatric treat ment during the second world War and the return of the Mili tary psychiatrists into civilian medical spheres. Finally it was accepted in about 1955 that the distinctions Between mentally ill persons and other patients were artificial and had been much Over emphasized in the past. Or.
