Notes:

Goering, reflecting later on his experiences at Cleveland State Hospital, reported poor conditions including incontinent patients, a lack of cleanliness, and the presence of cockroaches.  He further wrote, “...the boredom and feeling of oppression and depression was very overwhelming.  You’d have to struggle as a worker not to succumb to all of this yourself”.
