 +1. The fact that there is a specific, institutional, race based bias towards only African-Americans is quite interesting to me. Normally, when discussing old-timey racism and how it was used in pseudoscience, there are different gradations, maladies, afflictions, “defects” for each different racial group, taking aim at Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians, etc. What’s fascinating (and horrifying) to me is that this “affliction” of African-Americans with mental health challenges, moreover even with specific diagnoses like schizoid disorders, is only with them, and no other marginalized groups. What purpose did this institutional bias serve in specifically targeting black people, and not oppressed groups more generally? -RM
 +
 +2. Perhaps I’m putting too much stock in the old saying “idle hands make the devil’s work,” but with the discussion of riots in relation to idleness, my mind was cast back to the very religiously influenced moral treatment. I wonder then, does its mention here represent a continuity of religious influence in institutions, or is this an aberration in what was typically secular practice. -RM
 +
 +1. How impactful was non restraint methods to cure patients? (engaging in activities)
 +
 +2. Does pseudoscience still play a role in the world of mental illness treatment today based on the practices described in the book?
