CLINIC OPENED
HERE TO ADVISE
MENTAL CASES
Care for Border Insane Is
Nade Possible by Mary
Young VIII.

Between 20 to 30 per cent of the
employees in industry are psyche
logically maladiusted, DR.. j. L.
Rosenstein, consulting psychologist
for Ell Lilly 81 Co., and director of
the recently established Mary H.
Young human relations clinic, said
today.
Some Of these have serious men
tai disturbances" he said. "Others
are just enough removed from what
we call the normal to have their
efficiency impaired.
Keeping mental health in our
civilization is serious problem.
More OF our hospital beds are filled
with people suffering from ills of
the mind than are occupied by suf-
ferers from all the the physical dis
eases known to science"
Work Not to Be Hurried
To help husbands and wives who
cant get along, and to cure people
or feelings of inferiority and in
adequacy, a mental health clinic
was opened yesterday at Butler Uni
VerSlty, DR.. Rosenstein revealed.
We plan to proceed slowly at first
until we are sure in what direction
our greatest work lies. Although
we are interested in children's cases
most OF the emphasis is to be placed
OF adult problems" he said.
Ihis mental school, made possi-
Die through the will of DR.. Marv H
Young, is to function in the field
OF psychological readiustment for
which no other agency is available
in the state.
DeplOres Lack of Clinics
In speaking Of this lack of state
clinics, DR.. RoSenstein said:
1t Is on this point that we quar-
rel with politicians. They pass laws
forcing young people to study his
tory, mathematics, science and lam
guage, and completely ignore in
school study programs the most i'm
portant individual problem of all
mental hygiene.
We are using psyche therapeutic
methods in our clinic. Psvcho-
analysis does just what the word
implies, 1t analyses, while psyche
therapy attempts to correct.
After we discover what the in
dividual's problems are in private
individual conferences, we show
them tc him and teach him to
handle, not run away from them.
what people tell us in these private
sessions is held in Strictest con-
f1dence."
Cooperation Is Sought
Explaining that insanity is merely
matter of degree, DR.. Rosenstein
said that all symptoms found in in
sane persons also are found in nor
NAL people. In the insane these
tendencies and symptoms are ex-
aggerated. The personality is out
Of proportion, he said.
I'VE feel that by mental adjust
ments we are able to save many
homes" he said. "Out of consid-
cradle number of cases that have
come to my attention, can honestly
say that only two have resulted in
failures. Once we get at the source
of the trouble, we are able to lift
great load off the sufferers mind"
Social, medical and educational
agencies of the city, as we'll as the
clergy, have been invited to refer
cases to the clinic for consultation.
Since the clinic is privately endowed.
there will be no specific charge for
services rendered, but it is not
charity agency. People who can af-
ford to pay can make contributions
of any amount.

lege, received his masters degree at

versity.
