Description:Excerpt from Annual Report of the Trustees of the Boston Psychopathic Hospital: For the Year Ending November 30, 1925 To the Board of Trustees of the Boston Psychopathic Hospital. In accordance with the provision of the statutes I submit for your consideration the report for the statistical year ending September 30, 1925, and for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1925. The past year has seen the steady and fruitful development of the program of the previous years. This program consists of two closely correlated activities, first the care and treatment of the large number of patients referred to the Hospital suffering from a great variety of disorders, and secondly investigation into the causes, the mechanisms, the social relations of mental disorder with special attention to the possibilities of prevention and cure. Along both the above lines work has proceeded very smoothly during the past year and from the appended reports from the various departments and from the statistical tables some idea may be gained as to the extent of the clinical work and the lines of special investigation. On the Co-ordination of the Various Departments. In regard to special investigations the individual worker may carry on a somewhat isolated activity or may temporarily have the assistance of some colleague for a conjoint investigation. It is very different with regard to the care and study of the patients, where such isolated activity of the physician is not possible, but where the cooperation of a great number of workers is involved in every single case. The reception, study and treatment of every individual case involves so many different activities that the closest cooperation of the various departments is one of the most essential conditions for efficient work in the hospital. Continuous effort has been paid to the development of this cooperation and with very gratifying success. No rules nor special machinery will ever bring about such cooperation, unless there is thorough good will and mutual understanding between the workers. The Hospital is to be congratulated upon the spirit of loyal and hearty cooperation which is common to all the workers, and which enables the complicated problems presented by the large number of admissions to be adequately dealt with. The staff is so organized that the following requirements are met: the necessary attention to the recognized formalities of admission; immediate clinical examination and emergency treatment where required; the methodical and systematic general investigation of the patient's disorder, involving a study of the whole past evolution of the case and of the environmental situation; the detailed investigation of more special aspects of the case by the clinical pathologist, the psychologist, the social worker; opportunities for group discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of the individual case; the timely arrangement of steps which are necessary if the patient is to be transferred to some other hospital. It is in view of these requirements, which have to be met even during the rather frequent periods of an embarrassing influx of patients, that a smoothly running machine is so necessary. In this connection it seems appropriate to refer to the gratifying way in which the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Medical Officer have coordinated their activities. The Role of the Executive Staff. The members of the executive staff have the responsibility for the general running of the Hospital with supervision of everything pertaining to the maintenance of the necessary personnel and supplies and to the general administration of the various services.
