Lunatic Hospitals in Georgian England, 1750–1830: Routledge Studies in the Social History of Medicine

Autor Leonard Smith
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 apr 2014
Lunatic Hospitals in Georgian England, 1750–1830 constitutes the first comprehensive study of the philanthropic asylum system in Georgian England. Using original research and drawing upon a wide range of expertise on the history of mental health this book demonstrates the crucial role of the lunatic hospitals in the early development of a national system of psychiatric institutions.
These hospitals were to form an essential historical link in the emergence of a national system of institutional provision for mentally disordered people. They provided important prototypes for the subsequent development of a network of state-sponsored lunatic asylums during the nineteenth century.
This is an impressive volume which covers various areas including:
  • the provincial lunatic hospitals
  • managing the hospital
  • managing the insane.
This book will interest specialist historians as well as mental health professionals and people interested in local and regional studies.
