Description

"The mentally ill have always been with us, but once confined in institutions their treatment has not always been of much interest or concern. Using published reports, studies, and personal narratives of doctors and patients, this book reveals how therapeutics have always been embedded in their particular social and historical moment"--Provided by publisher.
