Although Alexander and those living with her insisted that she was perfectly well, the official solicitor took control of her home and money, evicted her "friends," and hired a live-in companion to watch over her. Alexander remained legally incapable for the next thirty years. In the mid-twentieth century, Alexander was one of about thirty thousand people in England and Wales who were, at any time, legally "incapable" and under the auspices of what is now the Court of Protection. Focusing on the period between the 1920s and the 1960s, Looking After Miss Alexander explains the workings of the court, using Alexander's unusual case to consider the complexities of this aspect of mental health law. Drawing on Court of Protection archives - some of which were made publicly available for the first time in 2019 - and micro-historical methods, Janet Weston also highlights the role of chance, subjectivity, and uncertainty in shaping how events unfolded then, and the stories we tell about those events today. An engaging and accessible history of mental capacity law, Looking After Miss Alexander examines ideas of citizenship and welfare, gender and vulnerability, care and control, and the role of the state. It also offers reflections on historical research and writing itself. 410 0$aStates, people, and the history of social change. 606 $aMental illness$xPrevention 606 $aMental health 615 0$aMental illness$xPrevention. 615 0$aMental health. 676 $a616.89 700 $aWeston$b Janet$0935115 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910634062403321 996 $aLooking After Miss Alexander$93012893 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04495nam 22008175 450 001 9910482961103321 005 20251226203521.0 010 $a3-540-77619-2 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-540-77619-2 035 $a(CKB)1000000000490980 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000320095 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11233802 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000320095 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10347433 035 $a(PQKB)10613845 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-540-77619-2 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3062166 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6806086 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6806086 035 $a(OCoLC)1286430911 035 $a(PPN)123743389 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC336942 035 $a(BIP)37162806 035 $a(BIP)17712503 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000490980 100 $a20100715d2007 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSoftware Architectures, Components, and Applications $eThird International Conference on Quality of Software Architectures, QoSA 2007, Medford, MA, USA, July 11-13, 2007, Revised Selected Papers /$fedited by Sven Overhage, Clemens A.
