Page 2 CONFERENCE INFORMATION Dear Colleagues: As we celebrate the 20th Annual PA Forensic Rights and Treatment Conference, we look back over the past two decades and reflect on the numerous positive system and treatment changes that have occurred. More importantly, we continue to have a long road ahead that is complicated by increased global violence, economic challenges, political and media influences and a changing perspective in the industry of behavioral health treatment—but with increased opportunities as well, stemming from influences such as major technological advances and increased research on practice-relevant questions. We welcome you to this conference, which focuses on the science of human behavior and its application to justice related settings. This year we will present data on a number of important topics, including parricide and treatment for sexual offenders. We had a large number of responses to the request for workshop presentations. As a result, we have many presentations of great interest and relevance to your work. We have also moved the site of this conference to the Harrisburg/Hershey Sheraton. We are looking forward to an exciting event and hope you can join us.

This parcel is part of the St. Elizabeths Hospital National Historic Landmark (NHL) District designated by the Secretary of the Interior on December 14, 1990. On January 12, 2007, John M. Fowler, Executive Director of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) requested a special ‘Report on the Redevelopment of St. Elizabeths’ under Section 213 of the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. §470u) “detailing the significance of (the) historic property, describing the effects of (the) proposed undertaking on the affected property, and recommending measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects.” During the past nine months NPS staff has visited the NHL District, reviewed draft documents and followed the deliberations of the St. Elizabeths Hospital West Campus Consulting Party Working Group. On October 1, we received the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that defines the alternative plans developed by the Government Services Administration (GSA) for the reuse of the West Campus as the DHS Headquarters.

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.

  • 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.

The settlement and industrial village of Frankford, which was studied in the Historic Context Statement for Neighborhood Cluster 1 (2008-2009), was the historic town center of the Planning District and was one of several such urban concentrations that developed in Philadelphia’s former county before the 1854 Consolidation.

    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.

  • A Piece of Mind: the Fate of the State-Funded Asylum of The
    A PIECE OF MIND: THE FATE OF THE STATE-FUNDED ASYLUM OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY by BRYAN LEE HARDMAN (Under the Direction of JOHN C. WATERS) ABSTRACT This thesis tries to give examples of state-funded asylums of the nineteenth century. By showing the various architectural styles which represent styles of that period, the creation of an organization is needed to preserve and educate the public of the importance of these buildings and other medical facilities within the context of mental health treatments of that time.

  • WOODLANDS CEMETERY HALS PA-5 4000 Woodlands Avenue PA-5 Philadelphia Philadelphia County Pennsylvania
    WOODLANDS CEMETERY HALS PA-5 4000 Woodlands Avenue PA-5 Philadelphia Philadelphia County Pennsylvania PHOTOGRAPHS PAPER COPIES OF COLOR TRANSPARENCIES WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA REDUCED COPIES OF MEASURED DRAWINGS FIELD RECORDS HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240-0001 HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY WOODLANDS CEMETERY HALS No. PA-5 NOTE: This report concentrates on Woodlands Cemetery (1840) and, to a lesser extent, on the grounds of The Woodlands, an eighteenth-century estate from which the cemetery was formed. Readers interested in the site's neoclassical mansion should consult Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) No. PA-1125, especially the 2002-03 "addendum," and its accompanying drawings and photographs. An interpretive division between landscape and architecture, while a practical necessity, is awkward in several respects. On one hand, it violates the unifying principle around which the estate was designed. On the other, it generates overlapping narratives. While the HABS and HALS projects are largely self-contained, a broad understanding of this cultural landscape requires reading them as complementary. Location: 4000 Woodland Avenue, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. Owner: The Woodlands Cemetery Company of Philadelphia. Present Use: Cemetery, tennis courts, equipment storage, and maintenance. Significance: Philadelphia's Woodlands Cemetery occupies the grounds of an estate recognized throughout post-Revolutionary America as a leading example of English taste in architecture and landscape gardening. This was William Hamilton's Woodlands, formed in the late eighteenth century on the low bluff where Mill Creek, now buried, meets the Schuylkill River. The mansion, a National Historic Landmark, has long been the subject of scholarly inquiry.
