Managing Lunacy in Eighteenth-Century London --Part Two. John Monro's 1766 Case Book --Notes --Bibliography --IndexThis book is a lively commentary on the eighteenth-century mad-business, its practitioners, its patients (or "customers"), and its patrons, viewed through the unique lens of the private case book kept by the most famous mad-doctor in Augustan England, Dr. John Monro (1715-1791). Monro's case book, comprising the doctor's jottings on patients he saw in the course of his private practice--patients drawn from a great variety of social strata--offers an extraordinary window into the subterranean world of the mad-trade in eighteenth-century London. The volume concludes with a complete edition of the case book itself, transcribed in full with editorial annotations by the authors. In the fragmented stories Monro's case book provides, Andrews and Scull find a poignant underworld of human psychological distress, some of it strange and some quite familiar. They place these "cases" in a real world where John Monro and other successful doctors were practicing, not to say inventing, the diagnosis and treatment of madness.Medicine and society ;12.PsychiatristsEnglandBiographyPsychiatryEnglandHistory18th centuryMentally illEnglandCase studies18th century.andrew scull.andrews and scull.asylum.augustan england.bedlam.bethlem.british history.case histories.disability.doctors.history of medicine.insanity.john monro.lunacy.lunatics.madmen.madness.madwomen.medical records.mental disorders.mental health history.mental health.mental illness.nonfiction.physicians.psychiatry.psychology.PsychiatristsPsychiatryHistoryMentally ill616.89/0092BAndrews Jonathan1961-1558086Scull Andrew T218307MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780375403321Customers and patrons of the mad-trade3822205UNINA
