Mental Illness and Learning Disability since 1850 - Finding a Place for Mental Disorder in the United Kingdom (Paperback):... Mental Illness and Learning Disability since 1850 - Finding a Place for Mental Disorder in the United Kingdom (Paperback)
Pamela Dale, Joseph Melling
R1,498 Discovery Miles 14 980 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

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.

The past two decades have seen serious reappraisal of the role of psychiatric institutions and mental health services in modern societies, and in recent years there has been much greater sympathy for the purpose and benefits of dedicated, as well as secure, accommodation from those suffering from more serious forms of mental illness. Taking forward the debate on the role and power of institutions for treating and incarcerating the insane, this volume challenges this recent scholarship and focuses on a wide range of factors impacting on the care and confinement of the insane since 1850, including: 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.

Anne Borsay, Pamela Dale
R2,589 Discovery Miles 25 890 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book seeks to integrate the history of mental health nursing with the wider history of institutional and community care. It develops new research questions by drawing together a concern with exploring the class, gender, skills and working conditions of practitioners with an assessment of the care regimes staff helped create and patients' experiences of them. Contributors from a range of disciplines use a variety of source material to examine both continuity and change in the history of care over two centuries. The book benefits from a foreword by Mick Carpenter and will appeal to researchers and students interested in all aspects of the history of nursing and the history of care. The book is also designed to be accessible to practitioners and the general reader. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good health and well-being. -- .
