The Confinement of the Insane: International Perspectives, 1800-1965 Book

This collection of essays explores the rise of the lunatic asylum, and the confinement of those deemed insane, in different national contexts over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Leading scholars in the field of medical history have placed extensive primary research on individual case studies in the context of the legal, social, economic, and political situations of thirteen different countries. The book thus represents the first truly international history of the mental hospital, and is therefore a landmark comparative study in the history of medicine.Read More
