The New York Times covers Dean Brooks and the new Museum of Mental Health at the Oregon State Hospital, where “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” was shot. Brooks, the article says, “minces no words when he says that mental health treatment in years past had its flaws. But anyone looking back, he said in an interview, should also look hard at the present… Today, he said, prisons have taken over the job, with barely a pretense of treatment.”
