Journal of Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Is it Time for Another “Great Society” Attempt?
Doris Bergen
Commentary
Some recently published books have analyzed and critiqued the “Great Society” that was envisioned by Lyndon Johnson and promoted in legislation during the 1960s and early 1970s [9], [14]. This era was when the “Head Start” experiment started [7],[8], [12], attention to the education of children with disabilities was strongly advocated [15], [16], and better treatment of the mentally ill and reduction in institutional experiences was advocated [15]. It was an especially exciting and proactive period for child development specialists, educators, and psychologists because that time seemed to be full of promise for improving the lives of citizens by increasing life-enhancing services to children and families and vastly improving mental health practices.
