Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases, Vol. 3: January, 1919 The recognition of the fact that social conditions play a large part in the causation of disease holds the hospital responsible for the welfare of the patient after discharge from the hospital. Hospital problems are therefore social as well as medical, and accordingly there is need of trained social service workers, as well as physicians. The two must recognize a common ground in their treatment of sickness and disease in the community. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
