Trade Review"This is an excellent book on an important topic. The writing is clear and approachable, the research is comprehensive, and the analysis insightful. Burghardt presents a compelling narrative, bringing in broader social contexts and themes." Deborah Stienstra, University of Guelph
"Burghardt illuminates the vastly divergent perspectives of those who experienced institutionalization, and the role of power in shaping these experiences, ultimately finding that those with the least power suffered the most extensive negative effects and experienced institutionalization as an oppressive force. A thoughtful and well-developed study." Allison Carey, Shippensburg University
"The reading of this book leaves the reader with a sense of the haunted past and of stories that will never be completely told. Recommended." Choice
