About This Book

This study traces treatment and institutional care of people with mental disorders across the British Isles, juxtaposing early medical and superstitious responses with later humanitarian reforms. It reviews notable hospitals and reformist establishments, outlines legislative developments that shaped care, and surveys regional practices in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Separate chapters address criminal lunatics, chancery patients, and intellectual disability, and a closing section charts the advance of psychological medicine over recent decades. The account combines archival research, institutional history, and analysis of legal change to explain how clinical practice and public policy evolved.
