The author, a public health service medical officer, presents a detailed and eye-opening account of the prevailing attitudes and practices toward mental health in the era before modern psychiatry. Through a series of case studies, the book delves into the various ways mental illness was perceived, how the mentally ill were treated, and the legal processes that governed their commitment to institutions.
