Taking forward the debate on the role and power of institutions for
treating and incarcerating the insane, this volume challenges
recent scholarship and focuses on a wide range of factors impacting
on the care and confinement of the insane since 1850, including
such things as the community, Poor Law authorities, local
government and the voluntary sector. Questioning the notion that
institutions were generally 'benign' and responsive to the needs of
households, this work also emphasizes the important role of the
diversity of interests in shaping institutional facilities. A
fresh, stimulating step forward in the history of institutional
care, Mental Illness and Learning Disability since 1850 is
undoubtedly an important resource for student and scholar alike.
