MENTAL HEALTH IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE WORK ...

This open access book demonstrates that  while occupation has been used to treat the mentally
disordered since the early nineteenth century  approaches to its use have varied across
different countries and in different time periods. Comparing how occupation was used in French
and English mental institutions between 1918 and 1939  one hundred years after the heyday of
moral therapy  the book is an essential read for those researching the history of mental health
and medicine more generally. It provides an overview of the legislation  management structures
and financial conditions that affected mental institutions in France and England  and
contributed to their differing responses to the new theories of occupational therapy emerging
from the USA and Germany during the interwar period.
