Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book mines the annals of 19th and early 20th-century medicine to reveal groundbreaking findings and ideas, such as the brain as the seat of intelligence. The author details scientific and philosophical discoveries which brought about the asylum era and the birth of psychiatry. The asylum era reached its peak by 1950, with over half a million Americans institutionalized. The author argues this was partly due to a lack of alternatives and a desire to isolate and hide the mentally ill. However, the psychiatric profession came under scrutiny in the 1960s and 70s, and a shift began toward deinstitutionalization. The author discusses the present-day impact of that era and the influence of such historical figures as Clifford Beers, Dorothea Dix, and Philippe Pinel. The author concludes that there is still much to be learned from the history of psychiatry - both its triumphs and failures - and that understanding the past is essential to improving mental health care in the present. The bookâs insights will appeal to anyone interested in the history of medicine, mental health, and the social history of madness.
