Description

Explore the history of early county asylums with this detailed study from Bloomsbury. This book examines the pioneer institutions established in early nineteenth-century England, which were designed to provide cure and safe custody for those suffering from insanity. Readers will gain insight into the origins of these asylums and how they were managed. The text covers the staff members, their treatment practices, and the personal experiences of those who were incarcerated. While late twentieth-century community care led to the abandonment of the asylum network, this work serves as a reminder of the original ideals behind these facilities. This volume includes extensive material regarding specific cities and counties, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the history of psychiatry and social care.
