Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy to the Lord Chancellor: Presented to Both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty We, the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy, beg to submit to your Lordship the following Report, relating to the several matters entrusted to our care. As our duties have been materially increased, by the provisions of the Act 5 & 6 Vic. c. 87, which have enabled us to inspect the condition of the various public and private Asylums throughout England and Wales, beyond as well as within the limits of the Metropolitan district, we think it right to report to your Lordship the result of our experience, in a more minute and specific way than we have heretofore been accustomed to do. Your Lordship is aware that the legislative provisions now is force relative to Lunatic Asylums in England, are for the most part comprised in the public Acts of 9 Geo. IV. c. 40; 2 & 3 Will. IV. c. 107; and 5 & 6 Vic. c. 87. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Certification of Insanity written by Filippo Maria Sposini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the first systematic study of the certification of lunacy in the British Empire. Considering a variety of legal, archival, and published sources, it traces the origins and dissemination of a peculiar method for determining mental unsoundness defined as the ‘Victorian system’. Shaped by the dynamics surrounding the clandestine committal of wealthy Londoners in private madhouses, this system featured three distinctive tenets: standardized forms, independent medical examinations, and written facts of insanity. Despite their complexity, Victorian certificates achieved a remarkable success. Not only did they survive in the UK for more than a century, but they also served as a model for the development of mental health laws around the world. By the start of the Second World War, more than seventy colonial and non-colonial jurisdictions adopted the Victorian formula for making lunacy official with some countries still relying on it to this very day. Using case studies from Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific, this book charts the temporal and geographical trajectory of an imperial technology used to determine a person’s destiny. Shifting the focus from metropolitan policies to colonial dynamics, and from macro developments to micro histories, it explores the perspectives of families, doctors, and public officials as they began to deal with the delicate business of certification. This book will be of interest to scholars working on mental health policy, the history of medicine, disability studies, and the British Empire.

Download or read book Cure Comfort and Safe Custody written by Leonard Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the pioneer early county asylums, which were intended to provide for the 'cure', and 'safe custody' of people suffering from the ravages of insanity. It considers the origins of the asylums, how they were managed, the people who staffed them, their treatment practices, and the experiences of the people who were incarcerated. 'Community care' in the late 20th century has led us to abandon the network of nineteenth century lunatic asylums. This book reminds us of the ideals that lay behind them. The book contains extensive material regarding particular cities/counties, e.g. Nottingham, Lincoln, Stafford, Wakefield, Lancaster, Bedford, West Riding, Norfolk, Cornwall, Dorset, Suffolk, etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorian Age saw the transformation of the madhouse into the asylum into the mental hospital; of the mad-doctor into the alienist into the psychiatrist; and of the madman (and madwoman) into the mental patient. In Andrew Scull's edited collection Madhouses, Mad-Doctors, and Madmen, contributors' essays offer a historical analysis of the issues that continue to plague the psychiatric profession today. Topics covered include the debate over the effectiveness of institutional or community treatment, the boundary between insanity and criminal responsibility, the implementation of commitment laws, and the differences in defining and treating mental illness based on the gender of the patient.
