A. i would say that in north america , at least the main treatment for schizophrenia, was institutionilaztion, and medications, namely thorazines, and haldol. chloropromazine was a widely used drug, then stelezine. these drugs worked not too bad, but were not effective for everyone. the side effects were not pleasant and a lot of people would have to take medication, to help ease the side effects. i worked in a large psychiatric hospital in the middle 60's, in canada. in the 50's, there other than medication, was other treatments were used. hospitals tried a treatment known as continuous water treatment, were patients were put in a bathtub, similar to a whirlpool, and treated with warm water to help settle them down, it did not work. … [cont.]

A. Well, rock was coming out onto the stage as well as country music. The big band sound was enduring a slow death. I guess the focus was no different than in past generations, love, lost love, love me, comedy songs and a few historic songs to tragic events of the past. The difference between the past leading up to the 60s would be that in that time you'd have more songs about sex, drugs and anti war..

How to dress like a girl from the 1950s?

Asked by Kathleen - Sun Sep 5 18:46:33 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You would not wear jeans to school at that time. Kids wore levis outside of school only. Only skirts were allowed for girls. It would be fun to wear a wide skirt with sequined poodle on it, dont you think? White sox, and saddle oxford shoes, a pink mohair sweater and hair in a ponytail. No tank tops, only a real sweater. Thats what I was wearing in junior high around 1959.

A. The 50's were all about family shows, like Leave it to Beaver. Now, TV has turned to being more revealing and trashy. Like Reality TV for instance. Society was different back then. People kept their business their business and took pride in how they were viewed. Now, most people on TV don't care. They'll do any thing. The difference is now you gat paid to do stupid things on television. The more stupid the better, or higher ratings. Back in the 50's you would have been looked down upon for presenting yourself in such a manner. Women normally were portrayed as the glamour girl, or the stay at home wife.

A. The nature of the clothing industry is maybe best noticed after a quick peek in your wardrobe. Soon you find out that few items have actually been made nearby. Instead, the origin of most jeans, t-shirts, or sweaters lies in more exotic locations such as Mexico, Bangladesh, Madagascar or Thailand.

A. 1) Fear of annhilaton from Nuclear war directed some people back to religion. Same as some people became religious after 9/11 2) 3) Rock & Roll, was a combination of Blues and Jazz and other "colored" music. This was the first time that many white audiences had ever heard this style of music and as a result was helpful in beginning to break down social barriers, 4) Beatniks were a sub-set of typically artistic people. The are often portrayed and being unshaven and wearing European style clothing. They are simply another group that did not wear what others considered to be in style. Think the forerunners to the hippies of the 60's, preppies of the 80's, grunge kids of the 90's and emo/goths of the 2000's

Should we start locking people in mental hospitals against their wills as we did pre-1950s?
Q. Today you cannot lock someone up against their will even if they clearly are seriously disturbed. Mental health advocates pushed for the release of tens of thousands of patients in mental hospitals in the 1950s (consequently, that's just when the homeless population begin to soar too). Should we go back to the days when we could lock up dangerous, sick people?
