The Confinement of the Insane: International Perspectives, 1800-1965

This 2003 collection of essays explores the rise of the lunatic asylum, and the confinement of those deemed insane, in different national contexts during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is therefore a truly international history of the mental hospital, and an important comparative study in the history of medicine.
