Conflicting models of selfhood have become central to debates over
modern medicine. Yet we still lack a clear historical account of
how this psychological sensibility came to be established. The
Transformation of the Psyche in British Primary Care, 1880-1970
will remedy this situation by demonstrating that there is nothing
inevitable about the current connection between health, identity
and personal history. It traces the changing conception of the
psyche in Britain over the last two centuries and it demonstrates
how these changes were rooted in transformed patterns of medical
care. The shifts from private medicine through to National
Insurance and the National Health Service fostered different kinds
of relationship between doctor and patient and different
understandings of psychological distress. The Transformation of the
Psyche in British Primary Care, 1880-1970 examines these
transformations and, in so doing, provides new critical insights
into our modern sense of identity and changing notions of health
that will be of great value to anyone interested in the modern
history of British medicine.
