Description: A Mind That Found Itself by Clifford Whittingham Beers A firsthand account of insanity and recovery. Clifford Whittingham Beers (1876-1943) was the founder of the American mental hygiene movement. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, he was one of five children, all of whom would suffer from psychological distress and die in mental institutions.
