Description

Explore the sociological study of total institutions in Asylums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates. Published by Routledge, this volume examines places of residence and work where individuals are cut off from wider society for significant periods. While prisons serve as a primary example of such environments, this work focuses on mental hospitals and the specific social structures within them. Unlike studies that focus on administrative staff, this text centers on the world of the inmate. It provides a detailed look at the enclosed, formally administered life experienced by those within these institutions. This book is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the medical or legal social sciences.

Key Features

This Routledge publication examines the concept of total institutions as defined by Goffman.

The text focuses specifically on the social situation of mental patients and other inmates.

Readers gain insight into the lived experiences of inmates rather than the perspective of staff.

The volume covers various enclosed environments including mental hospitals and prison-like settings.

This book serves as a foundational resource for subjects in anthropology and sociology.
