The Skill Factor in Politics: Reforming the California Mental Health Law. U. of California Press. For a summary, see pp. 201-202 in the 1999 edition of Being Mentally Ill. Scheff was commissioned by the Wisconsin Legislature to do a study of mental hospitals, but his findings were rejected. However, Waldie’s committee, counseled by Arthur Bolton, replicated Scheff’s study in California, forming the groundwork for the new law.
