Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. The acclaimed portrait of institutionalized patients whose abandoned possessions recall their forgotten livesA deeply moving testament to the human side of mental illness. -Oliver SacksWhen Willard State Hospital closed its doors in 1995, after operating as one of New York States largest mental institutions for over 120 years, a forgotten attic filled with suitcases belonging to former patients was discovered. Using the possessions found in these suitcases along with institutional records and doctors notes from patient sessions, Darby Penney, a leading advocate of patients rights, and Peter Stastny, a psychiatrist and documentary filmmaker, were able to reconstruct the lives of ten patients who resided at Willard during the first half of the twentieth century.The Lives They Left Behind tells their story. In addition to these human portraits, the book contains over 100 photographs as well as valuable historical background on how this state-funded institution operated. As it restores the humanity of the individuals it so poignantly evokes, The Lives They Left Behind reveals the vast historical inadequacies of a psychiatric system that has yet to heal itself.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 3rd Printing. Third printing. Front cover creased. 2009 Trade Paperback. 205 pp. "?The Lives They Left Behind is a deeply moving testament to the human side of mental illness, and of the narrow margin which so often separates the sane from the mad. It is a remarkable portrait, too, of the life of a psychiatric asylum--the sort of community in which, for better and for worse, hundreds of thousands of people lived out their lives. Darby Penney and Peter Stastny's careful historical (almost archaeological) and biographical reconstructions give us unique insight into these lives which would otherwise be lost and, indeed, unimaginable to the rest of us.??Oliver Sacks, M.D., Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center, Columbia University Artist, and author of Musicophilia. ?The haunting thing about the suitcase owners is that it?s so easy to identify with them.??Newsweek. ?In their poignant detail the items helped rescue these individuals from the dark sprawl of anonymity.??The New York Times. ?The authors] spent 10 years piecing together . . . the lives these patients lived before they were nightmarishly stripped of their identities.??Newsday. More than four hundred abandoned suitcases filled with patients? belongings were found when Willard Psychiatric Center closed in 1995 after 125 years of operation. They are skillfully examined here and compared to the written record to create a moving?and devastating?group portrait of twentieth-century American psychiatric care.
