Extract

The management and treatment of patients suffering from catatonia are constantly presenting a problem for mental hospital staffs, particularly in modern times, when more emphasis is laid on treatment than on custodial care.

The problem of making people suffering from catatonia into useful members of the hospital community seemed, from the very beginning, to be bound to fail, as long as the difficulty of inducing them to active and voluntary movements was not overcome.
