He expected to find a place that provided mental therapy for the patients; however, he was deeply disappointed by what he witnessed at this hospital. According to him, Hendler's was an experiment wherein the wealthy could indulge in their delusional fantasies while spending an inordinate amount on money on a place that was little better than a country club.
