Being a social worker in the mental health and intellectually disabled arena, I frequent short term and long term psychiatric facilities. There are many things about a psychiatric facility, a specific smell, an eerie feeling that makes the hair stand on the back of your neck, and an overall sense of despair. Sure, people go to get better and many times they do, but the important thing to know is people don't enjoy being there. A facility like this, is not a joyous occasion. This is significant to the central character in the novel I am reading, One flew over the cuckoo's nest by Ken Kesey.
The central character's name is Randle McMurphy. Randle has been committed to the psychiatric facility after faking a mental illness
