Product Information
This is a unique text that surveys more than 150 years of the history of Illiis public mental health services through a narrative text and over 600 photographs, some dating to the 1860s. Although many texts describe in writing the asylums, State hospitals and treatments from this period, this text includes hundreds of photographs never seen before, including photos of electro-convulsive treatment, fever therapies, insulin shock, many types of hydrotherapy, and a wide range of patient's activities. Focused on Illiis, an early leader in mental health care, the text has relevance to a wider audience, due to the broadness of its content.Product Identifiers
