The Insanity Law

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

The Legislature of New York State is proceeding to codify the laws relating to insanity, and the Medical Record (7th March, 1896), while justly urging the increase of the Lunacy Commission to eleven members, denounces the provision which is proposed that the medical member “shall have had five years' actual experience in the care and treatment of the insane, and is, or has been a Superintendent or first Assistant Physician of a State Hospital.”
