Treatment Of Mentally And Genetically Impaired In New York
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 page paper discusses the treatment programs available in New York. In 1975, a lawsuit was brought against Willowbrook State Hospital for inhumane treatment of patients. The resulting Willowbrook Consent Decree changed how services were planned and delivered. The system has changed dramatically since then, moving to a community-based care and treatment model. The services and programs identified in this paper are provided in New York City but they are also provided in most major cities in the nation. The writer explains the types of services that should be made available to this population. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
