Description

Explore the history of mental health and emotional evolution in this Palgrave Studies volume. This book examines how people in Britain navigated the emotions triggered by insanity between 1770 and 1820. It traces the changing attitudes toward madness and looks at how shifting emotional norms helped shape a humanitarian temperament. The text analyzes how early asylum reformers in England and Scotland moved away from the culture of sensibility. Instead of reacting with tears to suffering, these reformers used new emotional approaches to drive the first movements for psychiatric reform. This work is a valuable resource for understanding the historical connection between human emotion and the development of psychiatric care.
