| Synopsis: |
In this collection of 15 studies, medical students at the University of Otago examine aspects of the early and modern history of mental health institutions in New Zealand and attitudes toward patients as unfortunate aliens to the world of reason. The final section looks at broader trends including that country's professionalisation of psychiatry, women psychiatrists, and changing ideas about the mentally ill. Photographs feature asylums and special schools and their patients and staff in various periods. |
