Description: "Mental Hygiene tells the story of America's "social guidance" films, ten-minute celluloid treatises on proper dating, good table manners, the evils of dope, and what happens to teens who drive too fast on prom night. Thousands of these films were made between 1945 and 1970 and seen by millions of American baby boomers.".

"Mental Hygiene is packed with detailed descriptions of hundreds of crazed, funny, terrifying films and explains why they were made, who made them, and what happened to them."--BOOK JACKET.
