    Produced by CRM productions in conjunction with Psychology Today this educational film titled “Abnormal Behavior: A Mental Hospital” from 1974 takes the viewer around Gateways Hospital and Community Health Center in Los Angeles (founded in 1953 and still in operation). Specifically, the film sheds light on the day to day happenings at what is considered “a modern psychiatric hospital” and how the hospital works to treat its patients battling schizophrenia. The film follows the story of four patients and highlights staff members such as Mr. Louis Ziskind, Dr. Solon Samuels (a famed psychiatrist who pioneered use of lithium to treat manic-depressive disorders), pathologist Dr. Joseph Pessin, Dr. Jerome Jacobson, Dr. Albert J. Boner, Dr. Martin Coleman, and Alyce Wade Urbach through interviews and footage of them interacting with patients. In addition to the contributions and appearances of the hospital staff, the film utilized the expertise of advisor Albert Mehrabian Ph.D. UCLA, series advisor George S. Reynolds Ph.D. UC San Diego and consultant Michael Crichton. The film was additionally directed by Neil Reichline and Tom Lazarus, photographed by Neil Reichline and featured Bill Kaplan as head of sound and Cliff Fenneman as editor.

    I have worked in the mental health field for 22 years and I loved the work. My heart was in it because I have empathy and feel these people suffer more then most. Physical pain is tough but mental pain is beyond the pall. I just felt a need to try and bring some stability and yes, love into their lives. If I could bring a little joy and caring then I was doing my part as a human.

    In the winter, the homeless would sign in to have a warm place with food.
    Since then they changed the rules, where you can't do that anymore.
    They also closed a good number of state hospitals.

    Mental illness is so sad. It's not healing broken bones or recovering from surgery, it's inside the mind and very disabling. It was hard to watch this because the patients are suffering. I think during the era of this filming, doctors were relying on newer classes of drugs that were very potent and could do more harm than good. The last patient seems to have been a good candidate for the SSRI meds, like Prozac. Except we didn't have those back then.

    I feel that when you bombard them with questions of math (especially), or naming presidents in order, or dates and times...causes more undue stress on the patients. I can't even start at 100 and subtract 7, without counting on my fingers for the correct answer. That alone ins intimidating and would make me feel stupid and inadequate. Also, those Doctors seem to have severe communication problems and are socially lacking, more so than the patients. The way he stares them down is judgemental in a way. He is not at all comforting or kind with speaking with them, and jumping to the conclusions that someone needs life long medications to live life normally is rediculous. I would probably be acting the same way in such a situation, like lashing out at people that work there. I am sure he was provoked to do so considering the senerio.

    In the 70s too many people were labeled as schizophrenic. If you showed a little fear or anxiety you were labeled schizophrenic .many people with depression would get that label too because people with depression hear voices too. The difference is the feeling of sadness. Most schizophrenic do not feel anything except maybe intense fear.

      Where in the world did you draw the idea schizophrenic people can't experience emotion? Of course they have emotions, however they may have deficits in identifying emotion and may not be expressive about it. I'm not denying people were misdiagnosed as schizophrenic, but the statements you made aren't factual. Schizophrenic people can also have depression, so separating mental illnesses based off of "level of sadness" isn't really valid. And also, I believe the reason there were misdiagnoses in the 60s and 70s is because racism played a part in it, and how more people of color were diagnosed as schizophrenic than white people

    I really hope we advance our understanding, brain scans, and really intricate improvements to our scientific knowledge of what is going on in individual people's body. What's occuring with the brain. Really improve the future treatments, medicine, and natural function stability and how we can overcome the problem, if possible if we can improve the condition, on such a deeper level than we have ever understood how to treat, help, improve mental health disorders. I know that there is so much more to learn, so much more to find we can do, finding causes, maybe external environmental factors that could cause things like plaque build up in the brain, or messing up your endocrine system, I mean there could be, there has to be so much more to discover, to learn, way better ways to treat conditions with much improved medicine's because I know we can do so much better. Even currently we are still to this day, barely providing any true treatment, after my grandma just recently passed away not too long after developing a very sudden onset brain disorder.. we struggled to get any treatment or testing, they thought she had Louie bodies disease which I think is a rarer form of a fast onset dementia type brain disease. It's just crazy how she could go from her normal self to clearly something is going wrong in her brain function and to not be able to get good treatment, if I could I would be so motivated to work in a laboratory to focus on studying the make up of the brain on a macro scale, and hopefully find ways to lessen the amount of dementia type brain disorders and other similar things of that nature....
