About Friends Hospital Friends Hospital, founded in 1813, was the first private psychiatric hospital in the United States. Friends Hospital was originally modeled after The Retreat, a Quaker asylum founded in York, England during the 18th century. The hospital is located in Northeast Philadelphia on a beautiful 100-acre campus. Today, Friends Hospital provides recovery-oriented inpatient behavioral health services for a diverse population of individuals from the Philadelphia area. The hospital has a 192-bed capacity with several specialty programs, including recovery-oriented treatment units, an older adult unit, an adolescent unit with an integrated educational program, and an intensive adult unit for patients with acute mental health symptoms requiring a higher degree of supervision and support. Our Crisis Response Center (CRC) is a fully-functional psychiatric ER which evaluates and triages both walk-in and involuntary admissions. Friends Hospital utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating professionals from psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social work, expressive arts, and the chaplaincy. Treatment teams employ a recovery-oriented and empirically-supported approach to patient care. B. Training at Friends Hospital In addition to our psychology externship, Friends Hospital serves as a training site for psychology interns, psychiatric residents, medical and nursing students, social work interns, marriage and family therapy students, expressive art therapy students, and clinical pastoral education students. The Drexel University College of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry is housed on the Friends Hospital campus and has a clinical partnership with Friends Hospital.

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

  • Historic Context Statement for Lower Northeast Planning District 2012
    ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH AND CULTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTING HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT 2012 HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT EMILY T. COOPERMAN, PH.D. Geographical Summary The Lower Northeast Planning District (figure 1) lies inland (northwest) of the Delaware River waterfront at the point where the northeast and northwest sections of the city branch off from north Philadelphia. The Lower Northeast Planning District is characterized by relatively flat topography that rises gradually from the southeast to the northwest, moving away from the river. The Planning District is bounded on the southwest by the Frankford and Tacony creeks, and abuts Montgomery County on the northwest just south of the Tacony Creek as it turns to the northeast. The Tacony Creek becomes the Frankford Creek at the point where it historically met the Wingohocking Creek, which flowed east from Germantown and is now culverted, near the intersection of Tabor Road and Garland Street. Historically, the Little Tacony Creek flowed in several branches through the heart of the Planning District, meeting the Frankford Creek below where Erie Avenue is now located. Figure 1.

  • Ben Kaplow July 27, 2018 Universalism & Particularism In
    Ben Kaplow July 27, 2018 Universalism & Particularism in Quaker Philanthropy: 1770-1830 Introduction This paper aims to examine the relationship of the Friends’ Asylum to the greater project of Quaker philanthropy in Philadelphia during the early and mid-19th century. In this period, Quaker philanthropy in the Philadelphia area was born out a dense network of individuals. Even accounting for the population of Philadelphia—70,000 in 18301—the Quaker philanthropic network was quite small, composed of only about 100 individuals.2 Quakers were a powerful group, yet the number of individuals who had both the combination of drive and resources to engage in philanthropic work was relatively small. Indeed, it was often the same individuals who engaged in the varied projects of education, health, abolitionism, and penal reform, the main pillars of Quaker philanthropic work. As Kashatus discusses,3 different philanthropic efforts were driven by various configuration of individuals along denominational (evangelicals, quietists, etc.) and class lines, yet members overlapped significantly and coordinated their efforts as parts of a larger philanthropic project. The Friends’ Asylum for the Relief of Persons Deprived of the Use of Their Reason (FA)4, opened in 1817, was one of the most ambitious and influential of the Quaker 1 Campell Gibson, “Population of the 100 Largest Cities and Other Urban Places In The United States: 1790 to 1990,” U.S. Census Bureau, accessed July 24, 2018, https://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0027/twps0027.html. 2 William C.

  • Contemporary Igbo Nationalism and the Crisis of Self-Determination In
    CODESRIA 12th General Assembly Governing the African Public Sphere 12e Assemblée générale Administrer l’espace public africain 12a Assembleia Geral Governar o Espaço Público Africano ةيعمجلا ةيمومعلا ةيناثلا رشع ﺣﻜﻢ اﻟﻔﻀﺎء اﻟﻌﺎم اﻹﻓﺮﻳﻘﻰ Contemporary Igbo Nationalism and the Crisis of Self‐ Determination in the Nigerian Public Sphere Godwin Onuoha Graduate School Society and Culture in Motion Martin Luther University, 07-11/12/2008 Yaoundé, Cameroun Introduction One recurrent feature of politics in recent times is the demand of various ethnic nationalities to be politically recognised and affirmed as distinct identities in a plural society. This politics of recognition, which takes the form of ‘nationalism’ or ‘ethno- nationalism’,* has gained momentum with the resurgence of nationalist claims on a global scale. As an outcome of shifting political, social and economic contexts globally, nationalist identities are constantly emerging, re-created and re-defined as groups negotiate their identities and interests in the quest for self-determination. While these tendencies pose grave challenges to the security and sovereignty of the nation-states in which they occur, in some quarters they are positively viewed as legitimate movements for minority rights and self-determination. This is reflected in the manner in which global developments and the crisis of the post-colonial African state opens up the state for interrogation and continues to shape nationalist resurgence and the quest for self- determination. The dominant phenomenon in post-colonial Africa states involves the clash between a homogenizing (Western style) nation-state project characterized by the unresolved crisis of state ownership and contested citizenship on the one hand; and one that advocates a national unity project that upholds the rich multiplicity of plural identities based on negotiation, equity, popular sovereignty, local autonomy, and equal access to power and resources on the other hand.
