Many of these buildings were razed long ago, and those that remain stand as grim reminders of an often cruel system. For much of the nineteenth century, however, these asylums epitomized the widely held belief among doctors and social reformers that insanity was a curable disease and that environment?architecture in particular?was the most effective means of treatment. In The Architecture of Madness, Carla Yanni tells a compelling story of therapeutic design, from America?s earliest purpose?built institutions for the insane to the asylum construction frenzy in the second half of the century. At the center of Yanni?s inquiry is Dr. Thomas Kirkbride, a Pennsylvania-born Quaker, who in the 1840s devised a novel way to house the mentally diseased that emphasized segregation by severity of illness, ease of treatment and surveillance, and ventilation. After the Civil War, American architects designed Kirkbride-plan hospitals across the country. Before the end of the century, interest in the Kirkbride plan had begun to decline. Many of the asylums had deteriorated into human warehouses, strengthening arguments against the monolithic structures advocated by Kirkbride. At the same time, the medical profession began embracing a more neurological approach to mental disease that considered architecture as largely irrelevant to its treatment. Generously illustrated, The Architecture of Madness is a fresh and original look at the American medical establishment?s century-long preoccupation with therapeutic architecture as a way to cure social ills."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aArchitecture, landscape, and American culture series. 606 $aAsylums$zUnited States$xDesign and construction$xHistory 606 $aPsychiatric hospitals$zUnited States$xDesign and construction$xHistory 606 $aHospital architecture$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aHospital architecture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00960927 606 $aPsychiatric hospitals$xDesign and construction$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01081059 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aHistory$2fast 615 0$aAsylums$xDesign and construction$xHistory. 615 0$aPsychiatric hospitals$xDesign and construction$xHistory. 615 0$aHospital architecture$xHistory. 615 7$aHospital architecture 615 7$aPsychiatric hospitals$xDesign and construction 676 $a725.520973 676 $a725/.520973 700 $aYanni$b Carla$01843175 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bBAKER 801 2$bUKM 801 2$bBTCTA 801 2$bC#P 801 2$bOrLoB-B 801 2$bSTF 801 2$bPUL 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOWtU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973997403321 996 $aThe architecture of madness$94424018 997 $aUNINA
