I would like to locate information on the treatment of paranoid schizophrenics in the 1930's-40's. My grandfather had this disease and I want to locate how he may have been diagnosed and the treatments prescribed at these times. He was released. I knew him as a remote, but occasionally fun-loving man.
Thank you,
Linda Sievers
Linda, I've emailed you for further info...
