Description

Explore the dark history of New Brunswick's only psychiatric hospital during wartime. This book examines the shocking 1945 reports from The Standard newspaper that revealed neglect, abuse, and deplorable conditions within the facility. Following these revelations, a provincial Royal Commission was established to investigate the crisis. This historical account traces the people and events surrounding the Commission. Readers will learn about allegations of wiretapping, missing medications, and clandestine nighttime treks through the hospital. The narrative covers a wide range of intense subjects, including a gang of predatory patients, an undercover reporter, and conspiracies involving government interference. It also details the experiences of a Jewish psychiatrist who fled Nazi Germany, providing a deep look into the mental illnesses and treatments series through a real-world wartime crisis.
