Add to cart
US$ 42.00 (+ tax)
This collection of essays explores the rise of the lunatic asylum, and the confinement of those deemed insane, in different national contexts during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is therefore the first truly international history of the mental hospital, and a landmark comparative study in the history of medicine.
