add to cart   close window

An outstanding portrayal of mental illness as handled in state hospitals can be seen in the motion picture "Out of Darkness." There are many stars in the film. Dr. William Menninger, as medical narrator, speaks in his usual sincere, friendly, compassionate manner. He describes the treatment in mental hospitals today, says that shock is applicable in perhaps 5 to 10 per cent of cases, warns that drugs are-snot a cure-all. Those who saw "Out of Darkness," should get a deeper understanding of mental illness and how it is treated today in our mental hospitals.
