This book examines the relationship between social class and mental
illness in Northern Europe during the 20th century. Contributors
explore the socioeconomic status of mental patients, the possible
influence of social class on the diagnoses and treatment they
received in psychiatric institutions, and how social class affected
the ways in which the problems of minorities, children and various
'deviants' and 'misfits' were evaluated and managed by mental
health professionals. The basic message of the book is that, even
in developing welfare states founded on social equality, social
class has been a significant factor that has affected mental health
in many different ways - and still does.
