Working Back To Mental Health: Here is an occupational therapy shop. Tasks that interest and stimulate the mind help patients toward recovery and toward greater mental comfort. In addition to having curative results -- the main objective of occupational therapy -- the activities of patients produce many articles of use, such as rugs for sitting rooms and dormitories, curtains, chair covers, clothing, and the like. Nearly all the hospitals are using makeshift or inadequate quarters for occupational therapy. A separate building for this purpose at Ypsilanti is scheduled in the hospital building program.
