Camarillo State Mental Hospital, also known as Magaña men house or Man Cave, was a psychiatric hospital for both developmentally disabled and mentally ill patients in Camarillo, California. The hospital closed in 1997. The site has been redeveloped as the California State University, Channel Islands. The university has retained the distinctive Mission Revival Style architecture, and the bell tower in the South quad has been adopted as the symbol of the university. ==History== In 1932, the State of California purchased of the Lewis ranch, located three miles south of the city of Camarillo, and established the Camarillo State Mental Hospital. Camarillo State Hospital was in use from 1936 to 1997. During the 1950s and 1960s, especially, the hospital was at the forefront of treating illnesses previously thought to be untreatable, for instance, developing drug and therapy procedures for schizophrenia.〔Zaballos, Nausica. Vie et Mort d'un hôpital psychiatrique, le Camarillo Hospital (1936-1996), L'Harmattan, 2014, pp.118-120〕 Programs initiated at Camarillo helped patients formerly relegated to institutions to leave the hospital and move to less restrictive group homes or become (at least nearly) independent. The hospital continued to be a leader in the research of drugs and therapies in subsequent years. They also had one of the first units of any hospital to deal with autism. A dairy was built adjacent to the hospital for the patients to grow vegetables and work with the animals as a form of therapy. This hospital was also known to treat alcoholism. One of the former patients, Wilma Wilson, wrote ''"They Call Them Camisoles"'' (Lymanhouse, 1940) about her short stay in 1939. The "camisole" was referring to restraints that were used on some of the patients. There was a youth program from 1947-1986 known as the Childrens Treatment Center Complex. It was for 168 youth ages 7–18.(repository.library.csuci.edu) Violent criminals were typically housed at Atascadero State Hospital and not at Camarillo State Hospital. Sexually violent predators (SVPs) were housed at Atascadero State Hospital from the mid-1990s until beginning in September 2005, when they were transferred to the new Coalinga State Hospital built to house that population. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camarillo State Mental Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
