John Monro's 1766 Case Book --$tNotes --$tBibliography --$tIndex 330 $aThis book is a lively commentary on the eighteenth-century mad-business, its practitioners, its patients (or "customers"), and its patrons, viewed through the unique lens of the private case book kept by the most famous mad-doctor in Augustan England, Dr. John Monro (1715-1791). Monro's case book, comprising the doctor's jottings on patients he saw in the course of his private practice--patients drawn from a great variety of social strata--offers an extraordinary window into the subterranean world of the mad-trade in eighteenth-century London. The volume concludes with a complete edition of the case book itself, transcribed in full with editorial annotations by the authors. In the fragmented stories Monro's case book provides, Andrews and Scull find a poignant underworld of human psychological distress, some of it strange and some quite familiar. They place these "cases" in a real world where John Monro and other successful doctors were practicing, not to say inventing, the diagnosis and treatment of madness. 410 0$aMedicine and society ;$v12. 606 $aPsychiatrists$zEngland$vBiography 606 $aPsychiatry$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aMentally ill$zEngland$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPsychiatrists 615 0$aPsychiatry$xHistory 615 0$aMentally ill 676 $a616.89/0092 676 $aB 700 $aAndrews$b Jonathan$f1961-$01040180 701 $aScull$b Andrew T$0218307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455656803321 996 $aCustomers and patrons of the mad-trade$92462856 997 $aUNINA
