WITH MATCHING FUNDS FROM THEMASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL 1 MASSACHUSETTS MENTAL RETARDATION PLANNINGPROJECT 29 COMMONWEALTH AVENUE BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02116 December 1, 1966 His Excellency John A. Volpe Governor of the Commonwealth State House Boston, Massachusetts Dear Governor Volpe: We have the honor to submit h,.rewith the report of the MassachusettsMental Retardation Planning Project. The late President John F. Kennedy vrovided the impetus forretardation planning.In his first year in office, President Kennedy called for "... acomprehensive ail coordinated attack on the problem of mental retardation."As a result of his leadership and the recommendation of his Panel in Mental Retardation,the 88th Congress enacted the "Maternal and Child Health and Mental Retardation Planning Amendwents of 1963" (P.L. 88-156), whichprovided grants to develop statewide plans for the retarded. In March 1964, former Governor Endicott Peabody designatedthe Department of Mental Health as the state agency to administer the planning grant and carry out the purposes of P.L. 88-156, andestablished the Planning Board of the Massa- chusetts Mental Retardation Planning Project and appointed to it the commissionersof all relevant state agencies to assure an interdepartmental approach. You appointed, in addition to tLe commissioners, elevenleading citizens to serve on the Planning Board the policy making body of the Planning Project. The Planning Board has devoted the past two years to studying and evaluatingthe proposals and policy positions of the nine task forces of the project.Hundreds of concerned citizens from all parts of the Commonwealth contributed muchtime and energy to explore all aspects of the complex problem.Physiciaas, social scientibts, educators, lawyers, psychologists, social workers, and numerous experts in the field of retardation responded enthusiastically tothe challenge of formulating a compre- hensive plan for the retarded. Retardation is one of the Commonwealth's major problems. Approximately 165,000Massachusetts citizens are retarded. To these individuals and their families, retardation represents financialhardship, emotional strain, problems of adjustment, schooling and vocation, and untold human anguish. To the Commonwealth,retardation represents the tremendous economic and social cost of wasting human resources. This report does not presume to present definitive solutions to all the complexproblems associated with retardation.It does offer a forceful and far reaching plan which can begin to bestow the fullbenefits of our society on the retarded. Just as our late President John F. Kennedy inspired the nation to searchfor solutions to the problem of retardation, we in Massachusetts must lead the nation in translating goals and proposalsinto comprehensive programs which will actually benefit our handicapped citizens.

Hundreds of people participated with great vigor, enthusiasm and knowledge. Some of their names are included in the list of task force members.Others have helped as individuals znd must go unidentified because to name some will only do a disservice to the many others whose names were not systematically recorded. As with everyone, except the staff, all gave without financial remuneration.They participated because of their interest in improving conditions and activities for retarded people. Many of the services necessary for a comprehensive approach to retardation programs were, and still are, underdeveloped in Massachusetts.The expertise brought to the task by all participants, coupled with energy and dedication, has translated a difficult task into a promising and workable plan for the retarded. Responsibility for policy decisions and recommendations which follow was that of the Planning Board, chaired ably by Alfred L. Frechette, M.D., Commissioner of Public Health for the Commonwealth. This Board exercised its responsibility in a serious and deliberative manner. Board members gave to the task many hours of their valuable and limited time.Working with them has been a most pleasant experience for me. Three of the senior officials of the Department of Mental Health deserve special attention: Dr. Harry C. Solomon, Com- missioner; Dr. Robert W. Hyde, Assistant Commissioner for Mental Retardation, and Dr. Lewis B. Klebanoff, Assistant to the Director of Mental Hygiene for Mental Retardation.Their energetic, concerned and effective guidance contributed im-

This study was undertaken in accordance with G.L. c. 11, s. 6B, which allows the State Auditor’s Division of Local Mandates to determine the financial effect of state laws impacting cities and towns. G.L. c. 58, s. 17 provides a reimbursement formula to assist municipalities hosting certain tax-exempt state properties. My report estimates that over the past seven years, cities and towns received $58.4 million in reimbursements rather than the $116.9 million called for by the statutory formula--or 50% of their entitlements on average.

  • AN INVESTIGATION of the MENTAL HOSPITAL BUILDING TYPE Irvin J
    AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MENTAL HOSPITAL BUILDING TYPE Irvin J. Kohler August 1954 Submitted to the faculty of the Department of Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in partial fulfillment of masterts thesis study, 1954. FOREWARD This study is concerned with the application of .the disciplines of architecture to the problems of the care and treatment of the mentally ill. I feel that there is sufficient justification to demand the re-thinking of build- ings housing the patient's treatment and living facilities to make them more in keeping with our standards of contem- porary achievements in both architecture and psychiatry. The limitations of such a study were: the study, itself; the personal limitations of the investigator; and the presentation. The gap between architecture and psy- chiatry is tremendous. Each is a field unto itself, but the two must be joined together if there is to be a satisfactory solution to the problems of the mental hospital building type. A great deal of time and research was necessary be- fore the writer could even begin to bridge this gap, due to professional differences in terminology, outlook, and ap- proach. The next limitation was my personal discomfort when I saw the patients illhoused, with very little in their en- vironment to help them retain their individuality and denied the right to facilities for a complete life because of build- ing deficiencies. The last limitation was that the presen- tation of such a study must necessarily be orderly and cata- logue in an organized way what a mental hospital is and needs. However, no such order is in existence in the actual build- ing, and unfortunately this presentation tends to leave the reader with the concept of order in the mental hospital.
