This book argues that cultural fascination with the "madperson"
stems from the contemporaneous increase of chronically mentally ill
persons in public life due to deinstitutionalization-the mental
health reform movement leading to the closure of many asylums in
favor of outpatient care. Anthony Carlton Cooke explores the
reciprocal spheres of influence between deinstitutionalization,
representations of the "murderous, mentally ill individual" in the
horror, crime, and thriller genres, and the growth of public
associations of violent crime with mental illness.
