This book explores local medical, lay and legal negotiations with
the asylum system in nineteenth-century Ireland. It deepens our
understanding of attitudes towards the mentally ill and
institutional provision for the care and containment of people
diagnosed as insane. Uniquely, it expands the analytical focus
beyond asylums incorporating the impact that the Irish poor law,
petty session courts and medical dispensaries had on the provision
of services. It provides insights into life in asylums for patients
and staff. The study uses Carlow asylum district - comprised of
counties Wexford, Kildare, Kilkenny and Carlow in the southeast of
Ireland - to explore the 'place of the asylum' in the period. This
book will be useful for scholars of nineteenth-century Ireland, the
history of psychiatry and medicine in Britain and Ireland, Irish
studies and gender studies. -- .
