New England Authors Katherine Anderson

New England Authors Fascinating discussion with Kate Anderson, author of three books based on abandoned insane asylums. Kate has studied and photographed these massive institutions. She gives a history of the ornate buildings--which housed 560,000 patients during the 1950s--followed by massive de-institutionalization. Through her use of fiction, Anderson describes mental health care through the ages. Lively and knowledgeable guest.
