Abstract
Stimulation, not reassurance, was Dr. Lemkau's stated intent in his introductory remarks at the Northeast State Governments Conference on Mental Health, held at Asbury Park, N. I., in March 1956. Dr. Lemkau, director of mental health services of the New York City Community Mental Health Board, pointed out that his paper, somewhat condensed here, served only to introduce 2 days of discussion on mental health. Therefore, he felt that he could risk some statements that might prove ar1 esting. "Perhaps," he said, "I shall only be revealing what I should like to be able to act upon if I were free of the usual restraints on the public administrator."
