Fifty years after John F. Kennedy's speech on mental illness and retardation, E. Fuller Torrey's book provides an insider's perspective on the birth of the federal mental health program. Torrey draws on his own first-hand account of the creation and launch of the program as well as extensive research, one-on-one interviews with those involved, and recently unearthed audiotapes of interviews with major figures involved in the legislation.
