====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=======================================================================DECIDETE HOYDevoción Matutina para Jóvenes 2024Narrado por: Daniel RamosDesde: Connecticut, Estados Unidos===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================22 DE ABRILAMA A TU PRÓJIMO«Ustedes hacen bien si de veras cumplen la ley suprema, tal como dice la Escritura: "Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo"» (Santiago 2: 8). La gente, incluso muchos cristianos, se aleja de las personas desagradables, viciosas, pobres o mal vestidas. ¿Acaso espera Dios que amemos a nuestro prójimo, aunque esté demente o sea un criminal? Dorothea Dix creía que sí. Dedicó la mayor parte de su vida a mejorar los hospitales psiquiátricos y las prisiones destinadas a albergar a personas que se consideraban criminales o indeseables. El peor de todos los casos que tuvo que atender fue el de un hombre de apellido Simmons, en el Hospicio de Little Compton, una aldea de la bahía Narragansett. Haciendo caso omiso a las advertencias, Dorothea entró en un cuarto tan pequeño que tuvo que agacharse para poder pasar. Al principio no pudo ver al desdichado Simmons, pero escuchó el ruido de sus cadenas. Cuando sus ojos se acostumbraron a la oscuridad, alcanzó a ver a un hombre flaco y huesudo, de cabello blanco y enmarañado, que le llegaba hasta los hombros. Vestido de harapos, estaba de pie descalzo sobre el barro congelado, con una cadena en la pierna izquierda. La miraba con sus ojos hundidos mientras ella le extendió los brazos y lo estrechó contra su pecho. Sollozaba al pensar en la crueldad que ese ser humano tuvo que soportar en esa mazmorra durante tres años. Mientras lo abrazaba, él lloraba como un niño. El 10 de abril de 1844 se publicó un artículo escrito por ella. En él decía: «Sin duda, la gente de Rhode Island profesa amar a Dios. Me pregunto, ¿orarán al mismo Dios que mira al pobre Simmons?». Conmovidos por sus súplicas de misericordia, la gente de ese Estado decidió construir mejores centros de acogida para los enfermos mentales. Lo más probable es que no conozcas a nadie tan desdichado como el pobre Simmons, pero existen personas a quienes resulta difícil amar por su aspecto o manera de ser. Sin embargo, Dios espera que también los ames. Son nuestro prójimo. Él espera que aliviemos el sufrimiento de nuestros semejantes y compartamos con ellos nuestra esperanza de salvación. ¿Te gustaría empezar ahora? Estoy seguro que allí donde estás hay personas «difíciles de amar» que necesitan de tu amor.

Hey, y'all, and welcome to Southern Macabre. I'm Aeryn and I am so glad that you could join me today. I hope you're having a fantastic week so far. Mine has been good. My birthday was last week and one of our cats surprised us with four kittens. We're working on naming them since most people who want cats already have them so we're figuring we have four new cats. I'm hoping to convince the kids to let me name one Edgar Allen Poe, but only my oldest child really appreciates his work. Anyway. Today we're going to talk about mental health and I'm going to tell you about a hospital in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This episode took two weeks for me to research and write, but I think it's worth the wait. Also, I feel it's important to tell y'all about mental health treatment beginning in the Victorian era (1880s to about 1910s) and how it changed through later decades. You may be shocked by what I'm going to tell you, but you will find sources to all of this information on the website. To start off, mental hospitals were once called asylums. It was supposed to give the feeling of a rest or break from one's mental illness and during the Victorian era it actually was. I was surprised to learn that in the late 1800s most patients were well cared for in the UK and in America. William Ellis was the first superintendent of Hanwell Asylum in London and he believed mental illness could be cured through meaningful work. His successor, John Connolly, introduced the idea of a no restraint system at Hanwell. These two men likely influenced Dr. Peter Bryce, a twenty-seven-year-old psychiatrist from South Carolina. He had studied mental health in Europe and then worked in both New Jersey and South Carolina before being hired as the first superintendent of The Alabama Insane Hospital when it opened in 1861. Robert Jemison, Jr. donated his estate to the state of Alabama to build the state-run mental hospital. He was a senator and he was convinced to make the generous donation by Dorothea Dix, an advocate for the mentally ill. In the early years, African American patients were housed in a barn loft. All of the patients worked to provide food along with clean clothes and living quarters. This was considered part of their treatment and all patients were encouraged to spend time outside. The Jemison Centre was built in 1939 for African American patients and it housed patients until 1977. Dr. Bryce lived with his wife, Ellen, in the mental hospital and even ate with the patients in the hospital's dining room. He dealt with budget cuts due to the Civil War, which shifted the patients working as part of their therapy to them working to make sure no one starved. His colleagues didn't understand his model of treating patients with kindness and respect, viewing the practice as primitive and old-fashioned. This must have been infuriating to him after seeing how well it worked. While Dr. Bryce cared for patients medically, Mrs. Bryce beautified the grounds as well as the inside of the hospital. She agreed with her husband that the way patients were treated and their surroundings played a role in their ability to get better. They even brought in birds for long-term patients to care for and all to enjoy as part of their therapy. Sadly, Dr. Bryce died of kidney disease in 1892. The hospital was renamed in his honor in 1900. His wife, Ellen, passed away in 1929. They're buried on the grounds of the hospital they devoted their lives to for so many years. I can't help but wonder if they may still be there caring for patients unable or unwilling to leave, even in death. There isn't any information on Bryce Hospital after his death until the lawsuit in 1970, we'll get there in a moment, so I'll tell you about “treatment” in the United States in general. I can't prove or disprove that any of these things happened at Bryce Hospital or the Jemison Centre, but the likelihood is high. --- Ad --- Sigmund Freud came on the scene in 1886. He worked in Vienna, Austria, but was popular around the world prior to his death in 1939. He believed in talking to patients, but he also prescribed cocaine as a stimulant and pain killer. For a brief period of time, he believed it would cure a morphine addiction, but then his friend died from a morphine overdose about three years later. Go figure. The 1930s introduced electroshock therapy in mental hospitals around the world. It was, and still is, effective. Today it is performed while the patient has been given a muscle relaxer and anesthesia, to keep them from moving and feeling pain. Patients from the 1930s to 1970s were shocked to cause seizures which cured depression. As stupid as that sounds, there is documentation that it actually worked, but patients lost some of their long-term memories. Psychosurgeries, like lobotomies, became popular in the 1940s. This was where part of the frontal lobe of the brain was damaged or removed in order to cure certain mental illnesses. --- Everything came to an end when Bryce Mental Hospital's sins were revealed in October 1970. Ricky Wyatt was a fifteen-year-old boy who was acting out; he did not have a mental illness. Due to his behavior, he was sent to live at Bryce by his probation officer and aunt who had custody. His aunt worked at Bryce when he was sent to live there, but was laid off with many of the other workers. This was when she first said anything about feces covering the walls, nurses betting on fights between patients, etc. He wasn't the only person who didn't need to be there either. Sweet Aunt Betty burned the biscuits the past five Sundays in a row? Send her to Bryce! Maw Maw keeps misplacing her car keys? They've got a room for up there! Daddy being a general pain in the rear?  He can go, too. The only requirement was a letter from a doctor, which was easy enough to get. The lawsuit was called Wyatt vs Stickney and it led to federal regulation of mental institutions across the United States. It was found that the state was only giving 50 cents per patient per day for food, clothing, and other necessities. There were 5, 200 patients and only one nurse per 250. A reporter said that the hospital reminded him of the conditions he had witnessed in German concentration camps! He claimed (and I believe him after doing research) that buckets of boiling water were poured on him to get him out of bed and he witnessed other patients being abused many times. I couldn't find too many details, but maybe that's not a bad thing? --- Bryce State Hospital has been closed since 2014 and was sold to the University of Alabama to be used as a pair of museums, one on mental health history in the state and the other of the history of the University of Alabama. They were supposed to be completed by 2020, but the buildings on the old Jemison plantation are derelict and condemned today. Of course, the buildings are haunted, in case you were wondering if this really was a paranormal episode or just a dark tale of mental health history. The history is what lead to the property and buildings being haunted. There was so much mistreatment and so many people who suffered at Bryce who were completely sane (or as sane as a person can be) and didn't need to be there. People have been scratched by unseen entities, heard screams coming from empty corridors, etc. There are several YouTube videos about Bryce and the place is creepy during the day. That could be due to decay, but I wouldn't go out there even if it was allowed. A small group of people who went there said they felt a cold spot and then noticed a clean spot on the floor with a shoe print in the middle. If you watch any of the YouTube videos, there aren't any clean spots in any of these facilities. Also, there are cemeteries out there. Plural. Most aren't marked and the documents have been lost. The first recorded burial was in 1861, but most from 1861 to 1922 are gone forever. It's estimated that over 1,000 people are buried on the premises, but only 554 are listed on Find a Grave. That's a lot of potential souls, am I right? --- I just found out about this as I was going to record, but there's also an old nursing home back in there that was called S.D. Allen. It's also said to be haunted. Visitors (trespassers, really) have heard what sounds like a mattress or a body being drug across the floor. --- I hope y'all enjoyed today's episode. I'm sorry it took so long to research; I hope you can tell how much time I dedicated to this episode. I'll confess that part of that time was wasted because I didn't realize how many buildings were out there so a lot of my information was incorrect. Some may still be, but I did my best and that's what matters. At least I hope it is. Come back on Friday. I'm not sure what I'm going to tell y'all about yet, but it'll be good. I hope y'all have a wonderful day and I will talk to y'all tomorrow. God bless, y'all! --- Credits https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/objects-and-stories/medicine/victorian-mental-asylum https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7456315/Inside-haunted-ruined-remains-Alabama-State-Hospital-Insanes-Jemison-Centre.html https://news.ua.edu/2015/02/the-legacy-of-mental-health-pioneer-peter-bryce/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryce_Hospital https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud https://timeline.com/lucille-schreiber-forced-sterilization-e3987d304dc0 https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/26644/bryce-hospital-cemetery https://adap.ua.edu/ricky-wyatt.html

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1802 Birth of Dorothea Lynde Dix, Boston activist, writer, and schoolteacher.  As a young woman, she visited England and met the philanthropist and mental-health reformer Samuel Tuke, the director of the York Retreat. There, the patients tended the flower and vegetable gardens surrounding the buildings. Samual called his methods "moral treatment," His work inspired Dorothea to pursue new ways of treating mental illness back home in America. Dorothea championed the causes of the marginalized, incredibly the mentally ill. She successfully lobbied for the creation of mental asylums. Despite today's negative connotations, the word asylum was initially intended to be a place of safety and refuge. Dorothea's asylums were a complete departure from the punitive madhouses that had come before. Today, the Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh stands on the site of North Carolina's first mental health facility, Dorothea Dix Hospital, which existed for 160 years. Before that, the land was part of the Spring Hill Plantation, which was worked by hundreds of enslaved people for 150 years. Dorothea Dix Park is known for daffodils in spring and a field of sunflowers at the end of July. Dorothea Dix often included flower petals in letters to her friends. In 1829, she wrote a book of Floriography ("FLOOR-EE-ah-grah-FEE") or the language of flowers called The Garland of Flora. Dorothea wrote, The rose is the flower and handmaiden of love – the lily, her fair associate, is the emblem of beauty and purity.    1928 Birth of Maya Angelou (books by this author), American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist. Maya once wrote, On late evenings when quiet inhabits my garden when grass sleeps and streets are only paths for silent mist I seem to remember Smiling.   1929 Birth of James A. Duke (books about this person), American botanist and writer. He's remembered for his Handbook of Medicinal Herbs and the best-selling book The Green Pharmacy (1997). He developed Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases at the USDA.  James once quipped regarding dandelions: If you can't beat them, eat them.   1944 On this day, English and American bombs hit the Botanical Garden in Bucharest. The garden's herbarium lost 500,000 sheets of specimens - roughly two-thirds of their collection. The origins of the garden date back to 1874. The garden found a champion in a 28-year-old Romanian botanist and naturalist named Dimitrie Brandza. Today the garden is named in his honor. Dimitri came to Bucharest to be a professor at the Department of Natural Science at the University of Bucharest. He created the botany department at the Natural Science Museum, only to see his entire plant collection destroyed by a fire two years later in 1884. But the fire ignited a new passion for Dimitri, which was the creation of the botanical garden, which opened in 1891. The garden's 42 acres are home to a museum, a greenhouse, formal gardens, wild spaces, lakes, ponds, and research buildings. The garden is a living part of the biology department at the University of Bucharest.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Graphic Garden by Keith Williams This very, very green-covered book came out in May of 2020, and it's the first monograph from landscape architect Keith Williams. This book features all of Keith's projects to date. Now Keith is one of the country's leading landscape architects. Keith is a partner, along with Mario Nievera, in their design firm called Nievera Williams Design, a genuinely groundbreaking landscape architecture firm Is based in South Florida. Together, Mario and Keith have been designing fantastic outdoor spaces for over two decades. One of the wonderful things about this particular book is that Keith shares with us the transformations and pictures of his gardens, showcasing his work process from the beginning of the project all the way through to the end. In this way, you can see how he looks at spaces and incorporates different elements into these monumental design projects. And there's a reason he calls it the Graphic Garden, and that's because it's so visual. Keith is very generously sharing everything— all the pictures, all of the drawings, and the details regarding his approach to designing gardens. So if you are a garden designer, this book is a must because you will learn from a true expert in garden design. Now I have to say that when I first got this book, I was so blown away. It was way more than I anticipated. The level of detail is fantastic. You will learn about layering in gardens and how each layer contributes to the garden's overall design. And the other thing that I want to mention quickly is that I shared a great video of Keith and his partner, Mario, in a video with Steele Marcoux of Veranda, and they're talking about garden design, their unique perspectives, and their approach to it, which is just so fascinating. I learned a ton of little tips and views on garden design just from watching that particular video. So that's in the Facebook group for the show. But this book is a little gem — and since it's new and there weren't that many of them published — it is an investment, but it is so worth it. This book is 216 pages of the best of Keith Williams and his work in gardens. You can get a copy of The Graphic Garden by Keith Williams and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $70.   Botanic Spark 1938 On this day, the Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol, wrote in his diary: For a few minutes this morning I fumbled around my Wild Flower garden...  Little points which will soon be Bloodroots.  Cautious little down covered stems and buds that will later become Hepaticas.  Narrow leaves the forerunners of spring beauty.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

The Women's Work team install an errant filter found in the box of the Tesseractitron CR-app and connect to coordinates for speaking with Pre and Post Civil War Humanitarian, Dorothea Lynde Dix, apparently at her hospital residence in Trenton, New Jersey. Although it seems a rocky start, Miss Dix begins to open up to host, Leslie Gray, and chronicles in detail her work in bringing attention and funding to state asylums for the mentally ill during a time when those with psychological disturbances were treated as criminals. She discusses her work coordinating female nurses during the Civil War and her less than triumphant return to asylum advocacy after conflict in “The Rebellion” finishes.

In this podcast we continue the discussion on the beginnings of social reform in the United States. Within the two podcasts we discuss Dorothea Dix and her work in the field of mental illness, Temperance movement with limiting alcoholic consumption, Abolition, Women's Sufferage, and Horace Mann with educational reforms. Many of today's social justice movements can trace their beginnings back to this time in our nation's history. Change is perpetual, but to get real change started requires a lot of work, as you will hear!There is so much content that we needed to break it up into two separate podcasts. This is part 2 of 2.  There is always more to learn!

The gorgeous architecture and intricate stonework hide a century’s worth of abuse and horrors in this now-abandoned facility. At the height of its operation, the rooms and halls were filled with vulnerable and abused patients. Now closed, this asylum is supposedly occupied by otherworldly residents and has gained a reputation as one of the most haunted places in America.

How have we already made it to the end of Season Four? In this week's Season Four Finale, we are joined by Emily and Kelley, the lovely ladies of the Wining About HERstory podcast! In true Wining About HERstory fashion, they tell the uplifting and motivational story about phenomenal Dorothea Dix, a nurse and all-around advocate that fought for the mentally ill. And then, in true Hashtag History fashion, we follow up their story with the dark and twisted tale of horrific Jane Toppan, the serial killer nurse who would go on to kill dozens of her patients. As you can tell, this episode is about three times the length of our normal episodes. We just had so much fun together! So cozy on up or go for a nice long car ride while you listen to the story of two different women - both in the medical field - but on very different sides of History.

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.” ~Elizabeth Cady Stanton As women in America were extended more and more opportunities for higher education, there arose a group of educated, middle class women who felt strongly about the need for women's suffrage. For Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the right for women to vote was simple, clear and vital. She dedicated her life to raising her 7 children, and putting in whatever work was necessary to see suffrage for women realized. She, and other key figures like Susan B. Anthony and Alice Paul played important roles in this fight.  In the meantime, other women like Jane Addams, Dorothea Dix, and Florence Kelly were working for the poorer and ignorant classes to improve their living conditions and opportunities. As part of an attempt to improve the conditions of the lower class, Margaret Sanger, a trained nurse, felt that birth control was the best answer. Control the population, she believed, and give the women the ability to choose when they have children, and living conditions, jobs and wages would improve for all. She devoted herself and all her energy to realizing this ambition--founding the first Planned Parenthood clinics and forming the group of  philanthropists, doctors and scientists who would develop the first birth control pill.  In this podcast, Audrey sweeps across the history of women's issues in the last two centuries. She quickly covers key events, people and issues to create a backdrop for the modern Feminist movement that defines the way women think and talk about themselves today. Tune in next month when Betty Friedan and The Feminine Mystique take hold in the minds of women across the U.S. and change the framework of relations between men and women forever!

Every truth we see is ours to give the world, not to keep for ourselves alone, for in so doing we cheat humanity out of their rights and check our own development.” ~Elizabeth Cady Stanton “To think I have had more than 60 years of hard struggle for a little liberty, and then to die without it seems so cruel.” ~Susan B. Anthony “I do not demand equal pay for any women save those who do equal work in value. Scorn to be coddled by your employers; make them understand that you are in their service as workers, not as women.”  ~Susan B. Anthony “The true republic: Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.”  ~Susan B. Anthony “I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.

This week Sovereign Syre and Souixsie Q talk about Dorothea Dix, an early advocate and activist for the treatment of the mentally ill.  Dix escaped a troubled home as a child, displayed all the hallmarks of genius by her teens, and went on to live a life that oversaw the change of the treatment of the mentally ill from America, to Europe, to the Middle East and even in Japan.  Join us as we talk about how the daughter of a religious zealot and drunk managed to live an extraordinary life dedicated to helping the indigent and overlooked.  

“No mere acquisition of knowledge was of any value in her eyes in comparison with a longing to dedicate it to the service of humanity.” ~Francis Tiffany about Dorothea Dix Dorothea Dix was remarkable!  Despite being raised by a mentally ill father, deprived of a proper education, born down by the early responsibility of two younger brothers and suffering from her own physical illnesses, Dorothea determined to make something beautiful and purposeful of her life.  Not surprisingly, her life perfectly exemplifies the 7 Laws of Life Mission. Through her determination to love God and serve Him, she learned to better care for her health, studied hard to gain a deep classical education, took on adult responsibilities at a young age, and came to love people of all cultures and faiths. Then, as it always does, her calling came when she visited insane women in prison. Moved by deep compassion for their helpless state, she determined to spend the rest of her life championing the cause of the insane poor in a world that was indifferent to their plight.  The story of Dorothea's life will encourage and inspire you to strive a little harder to fulfill your own life mission!

I am not ambitious of nominal distinctions, and notoriety is my special aversion. My reputation and my services belong to my country.” ~Dorothea Dix “I never knew childhood!” ~Dorothea Dix “Eager for knowledge, ambitious for more refined and intellectual social opportunities, loaded down already with a premature sense of responsibility, thus early had the iron entered her soul, and the conviction been developed in her of the reality and sharpness of the battle of life.” ~Francis Tiffany  “To become independent in means, to educate herself for a position that would command support and respect, to be able to get her two younger brothers under the same roof with her and enact the part of child-mother to them—this early developed into the indomitable purpose of her life.” ~Francis Tiffany  “Happily preparation for this calling [teacher] was in the line of the deepest instincts of her nature. These were at that time thirst for knowledge and longing to exert direct moral influence.” ~Francis Tiffany  “Her sense of pitiful compassion for the ignorant, degraded, and suffering was the strongest element in her being.” ~Francis Tiffany  “The hour of bodily suffering is to me the house of spiritual joy. It is then that most I feel my dependence on God and his power to sustain.” ~Dorothea Dix “No mere acquisition of knowledge was of any value in her eyes in comparison with a longing to dedicate it to the service of humanity.” ~Francis Tiffany  “…vivid interest in all the branches of natural history, which unquestionably would have asserted itself as the dominant passion of her mind, had it not been overmastered by the still stronger passion for consecrating herself to the relief of human suffering.” ~Francis Tiffany “But there are duties to be performed here. Life is not to be expended in vain regrets. No day, no hour, comes but brings in its train work to be performed for some useful end,

Dorothea Dix one of the most significant women of the 1800s. She fought for reform in mental health and in her lifespan got over 32 mental institutions built including lots of policies to help the mentally ill.

Dorothea Dix suffered an abusive childhood, but escaped through school and, eventually teaching. After a nervous breakdown, Dorothea went abroad for a vacation, but ended up falling in with a group of healthcare reformers. She adopted their method of investigating hospitals and reporting her findings to the government and took it home to America. She […]

Her life seemed perfect up until the very end when everything went horribly wrong. Tina and Allison talk at the beginning of the show about a man who was handcuffed and left outside for police to pick him up at a mental health facility.

Politicians who rely on targeted tax incentives to help recruit businesses to North Carolina share a common trait with teenagers who stuff their faces with the first piece of chocolate cake they see. Joseph Coletti, John Locke Foundation senior fellow, explains that analogy as he dissects this state’s incentives policy. Coletti explains why the politicians — and teenagers — would benefit from considering alternatives. Charlotte’s Sugar Creek Charter School has demonstrated clear success. But school founder and former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot says that success followed early struggles. Vinroot explained recently for state lawmakers how an early threat of closing prompted Sugar Creek leaders to improve the school’s performance. A national education expert recently urged N.C. lawmakers to add more local spending flexibility to the state’s school funding formula. Marguerite Roza of Georgetown University’s Edunomics Lab explained how North Carolina could benefit from a formula establishing a more direct link between taxpayer money and particular students. The former Dorothea Dix mental hospital campus in downtown Raleigh is moving closer to conversion into the area’s largest park. Kate Pearce, Dix Park planner for Raleigh’s city government, recaps key pieces of the park planning discussion and looks ahead to the next steps in the process. The top statewide race on this year’s N.C. election ballot features Republican state Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jackson. Democrat Anita Earls already has announced plans to challenge Jackson, and other candidates could file for the office starting June 18. Rick Henderson, Carolina Journal editor-in-chief, handicaps the race and explains its significance for the high court’s future.

The Hauger History podcast is proud to celebrate pioneers in their field. This 8th grade edition of the Hauger History Podcast honors the work and dedication of Dorothea Lynde Dix to helping mentally ill people in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. There were many reform movements happening in America between 1800-1850, and Dorothea Dix was among the first to turn to look towards the underprivileged, and the mentally ill. Most were being terribly mistreated at the time. Her tireless work, lobbying, research, records, and legislation began to see a change for the better over time, because of her dedication to helping others. From Massachusetts to North Carolina, she advanced the care of the mentally ill greatly during her lifetime and set an example of what it means to serve your country.    Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and subscribe to my YouTube channel for all of the podcast episodes!

Should the member of a Christian congregation be injured in a car accident, that person will likely be the subject of public prayers and hospitality. But if that same person suffers a mental breakdown, reactions will likely be much more complex and awkward. In her fascinating book, Madness: American Protestant Responses to Mental Illness (Baylor University Press, 2015), Dr. Heather Vacek examines how American Protestants have struggled with the problem of mental illness, and how their relationship with it has changed over time. Vacek reveals in her well-organized and sensitive work the thought of five Protestants whose lives were deeply touched by mental illness: Cotton Mather, Benjamin Rush, Dorothea Dix, Anton Boisen, and Karl Menninger. Vacek then ends this well-researched book with a historically-informed theological reflection of how Christians can help those afflicted with mental illness. Learn more about your ad choices.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 29, 2014, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Randy Lewis, Adjunct Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Henry David Thoreau once said, “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.” In the continuation of the summer sermon series Heroes, Heroines, and Heretics, we will examine the life of Dorothea Dix. Dorothea was one such person that dared to stand up against injustice in a time when few women were able to influence social change. She became impassioned at the plight of those whom society had deemed mentally insane. Many of these individuals were often abused and institutionalized in deplorable and demeaning conditions. Dorothea fought on their behalf. Her life is an example of what one committed person can do to affect change in the lives of others.
