MENTAL HEALTH IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE HEALT...

This open access edited collection contributes a new dimension to the study of mental health
and psychiatry in the twentieth century. It takes the present literature beyond the 'asylum and
after' paradigm to explore the multitude of spaces that have been permeated by concerns about
mental well-being and illness. The chapters in this volume consciously attempt to break down
institutional walls and consider mental health through the lenses of institutions  policy 
nomenclature  art  lived experience  and popular culture. The book adopts an international
scope covering the historical experiences of Britain  Ireland  and North America. In accordance
with this broad approach  contributions to the volume span academic fields such as history 
arts  literary studies  sociology  and psychology  mirroring the diversity of the subject
matter. This book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com
