Bethlem Hospital is the oldest mental institution in the world, to
many famously known as 'Bedlam': a chaotic madhouse that brutalised
its patients. Paul Chambers explores the 800-year history of
Bethlem and reveals fascinating details of its ambivalent
relationship with London and its inhabitants, the life and times of
the hospital's more famous patients, and the rise of a powerful
reform movement to tackle the institution's notorious policies.
Here the whole story of Bethlem Hospital is laid bare to a new
audience, charting its well-intended beginnings to its final
disgrace and reform.
