Drawing upon a rich set of asylum patient case records, Sex, Religion, and the Making of Modern Madness in Germany reconstructs the encounter of state officials and medical practitioners with peasant madness at a transitional time in both the history of psychiatry, and German history during the period 1815 to 1849. Focusing on religious madness, nymphomania, masturbatory insanity, and Jewishness, it probes the daily encounters in which psychiatric categories were applied, experienced, and resisted in the settings of family, village, and insane asylum.
