Below is where I started ... my final reading list can be found by clicking above, a brief description:

 

 
This literature reviews two topics. The first topic examined is, “Mad Annals: Consistent Attempts at
Reform and Abolition throughout the History of Institutions”. The second topic is “On the Road toward Liberation: Slavery, Oppression, Racism, and the Black Power Movement”. Both of these topics are prefaced with a selection of readings to introduce a) the way I look at their dimensionalized realities using the lens of Environmental Psychology in Mental Institutions, and b) the frame of reference, or “Theoretical Frameworks” that are relied on to formulate the organization of materials found.
 

 About a year ago, this is where I was ... what an amazing learning process!::;

The second doctoral examination requires the student to pick two topics and aggressively research them.  The following is the DRAFT of my reading list for my second doctoral examination.  The first topic is "Asylums of the 19th Century" and the second topic is "Perspectives from users and survivors of psychiatric treatment".  

 

Following is the DRAFT of my reading list for the first topic.
