About This Book
A practical manual for nurses and attendants presents a structured two‑year training program and concise clinical guidance for caring for people with mental illness. It begins with basic nervous system and mental faculties, defines various forms of insanity and common symptoms, and then details attendants' duties, observation and record keeping, ward routines, hygiene, feeding, bathing, exercise, occupation and reception of new patients. Later chapters cover management of violent or disturbed patients, emergency care, simple restraint and nursing procedures, and methods to encourage self‑control and moral treatment. Emphasis is placed on plain, practical instruction adapted to attendants rather than medical specialization.
