We are, however, largely ignorant about madness at home in this key period: what were the family's attitudes toward its insane member, what were patient's lives like when they remained at home? Until now, most accounts have suggested that the family and community gradually abdicated responsibility for taking care of mentally ill members to the doctors who ran the asylums. However, this provocatively argued study, painting a fascinating picture of how families viewed and managed madness, suggests that the family actually played a critical role in caring for the insane and in the development of psychiatry itself. Akihito Suzuki's richly detailed social history includes several fascinating case histories, looks closely at little studied source material including press reports of formal legal declarations of insanity, or Commissions of Lunacy, and also provides an illuminating historical perspective on our own day and age, when the mentally ill are mainly treated in home and community. 410 0$aMedicine and society ;$v13. 517 3 $aPsychiatrist, the patient, and the family in England, 1820-1860 606 $aMentally ill$xCare$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMentally ill$xHome care$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMentally ill$zEngland$xFamily relationships$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMental health laws$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPsychiatry$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 610 $aasylum. 610 $acaregiver. 610 $acommission of lunacy. 610 $adisability. 610 $aenglish madness. 610 $afamily. 610 $ahistory of madness. 610 $ahistory of medicine. 610 $ahome health care. 610 $ainsanity. 610 $alunacy. 610 $amadman. 610 $amadness. 610 $amadwoman. 610 $amedical specialty. 610 $amental disability. 610 $amental health. 610 $amental hospital. 610 $amental illness. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apsychiatric institutions. 610 $apsychiatric profession. 610 $apsychiatry. 610 $apsychology. 610 $asocial history. 615 0$aMentally ill$xCare$xHistory 615 0$aMentally ill$xHome care$xHistory 615 0$aMentally ill$xFamily relationships$xHistory 615 0$aMental health laws$xHistory 615 0$aPsychiatry$xHistory 676 $a616.89/00942/09034 700 $aSuzuki$b Akihito$f1963-$01552044 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783670003321 996 $aMadness at home$93860650 997 $aUNINA
