Description
"Care and Treatment of the Mentally Ill in North Wales, 1800-2000 follows the rise and fall of a 'total institution', the predominantly Welsh-language North Wales Hospital in Denbigh, from its origins as the North Wales Lunatic Asylum in 1848 to its closure in 1995. It is a ground-breaking study of the history of insanity in north Wales over a period of two centuries." "This is the first detailed history of an asylum in Wales, as well as being an important contribution to the sociology of mental illness. In its analysis of the interaction between events inside the asylum and changes in Welsh society beyond its walls, Care and Treatment of the Mentally Ill in North Wales offers a significant new perspective on the cultural history of Wales."--BOOK JACKET.
