The Victorian Age saw the transformation of the madhouse into the
asylum into the mental hospital; of the mad-doctor into the
alienist into the psychiatrist; and of the madman (and madwoman)
into the mental patient. In Andrew Scull's edited collection
Madhouses, Mad-Doctors, and Madmen, contributors' essays offer a
historical analysis of the issues that continue to plague the
psychiatric profession today. Topics covered include the debate
over the effectiveness of institutional or community treatment, the
boundary between insanity and criminal responsibility, the
implementation of commitment laws, and the differences in defining
and treating mental illness based on the gender of the patient.
