Suggestions for Improvement
Hello! I read through your article, and there’s definitely some really interesting information. The lead section is especially informative and gives the reader a good overview of the topic. However, I feel that the body of the article should mirror the structure of the lead section more, just in much greater detail. For example, the lead briefly explains the asylum’s establishment, but there should be a history section that elaborates on the founding of the asylum (especially why). Also, you mentioned that mental asylums at the time had deplorable conditions. This would be stronger if you explained how exactly they abused their patients and what the reform movement looked like.

And just a few more questions I had: Was the psycho-drama therapy successful? Why was the asylum closed? I really like the small sections in the article with some interesting tidbits, but they should definitely be dwarfed in length by a history section. Finally, it would be great if you could add in a few pictures as well. Thanks for reading, hope this was helpful! BaiCaiXue (talk) 03:32, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
