The Phipps Psychiatric Clinic at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore was established in 1913. An integral part of a large general hospital and intimately associated with a medical school, it conforms rather closely to the plan of the German psychiatric clinics. A study of its activities shows that during a period of five years (ending January 31, 1918) the admission rate averaged 403.8 per year. Fourteen and three-tenths per cent of the cases were diagnosed as dementia praecox or schizophrenic reaction and 13.7 per cent conform apparently to the classification of manic-depressive psychoses. Ten and five-tenths per cent were diagnosed as neuroses or psychoneuroses; 6.1 per cent as general paresis; fifteen per cent as agitated depressions; 2.3 per cent as alcoholic psychoses; and 6.1 per cent as constitutional inferiority or constitutional psychopathic states. Seven and nine-tenths per cent were cases of anxiety neuroses, agitated depressions or anxiety psychoses; 2.3 per cent were paranoic states or reactions; 3.5 per cent were cases of alcoholism, and 3.7 per cent of drug habits. The dispensary service of the Phipps Clinic has reported an average of 565 cases per year, representing a total of 2,260.5 visits annually. The work of Drs. Meyer, Hoch and Kirby at the Psychiatric Institute, of Dr. Barrett at the Psychopathic Hospital at the University of Michigan, of Dr. Southard at the Psychopathic Department of the Boston State Hospital, and that of Drs. Meyer and Campbell at the Phipps Psychiatric Clinic in Baltimore has brought the subject of psychopathic hospitals very prominently before the public. Various other establishments of a similar nature have been planned and some are in process of construction, or already in operation. The State Psychopathic Institute at Chicago and the Psychopathic Hospital of the University of Iowa should be mentioned in this connection. Psychopathic hospitals have been planned for New York City and one is to be built by the State of California. The legislature of Colorado has already made an appropriation of $350,000 for the establishment of an institution of this type in the city of Denver.
