Description
Book SynopsisThis reader consists of diverse writings about Gould Farm, considered the nationâs oldest residential rehabilitation community. The Farm now assists those with persistent mental illness. This book includes essays, letters, and book excerpts about Gould Farm written over the last 100 years.
Trade ReviewThis volume shows there are those who understand Gould Farm as a pioneer in the development and growth of a distinct ‘therapeutic’ perspective, thus almost totally reinterpreting the meaning of ‘therapeutic.’ As might be expected, a massive literature has been produced, each attempting to explain Gould Farm. Here, the reader is brought directly to many of the most important sources which can help form her/his conclusion as to what Gould Farm really [represents]. -- Calvin W. Redekop, PhD
