Care and Treatment of the Mentally Ill in North Wales 1800-2000 Reviews

'...This scholarly and sensitive history of the Denbigh mental hospital in north Wales makes a valuable contribution to the history of psychiatry in its British context.' (Medical History) '...Michael has produced a very well documented and non-doctrinaire account of the Denbigh Hospital and the larger society within which it was situated. In so doing, she has made a very useful contribution to the new 'micro-history' of the nineteenth and twentieth century asylum and psychiatric institution.' Social History Society Bulletin 'Pamela Michael has produced a carefully and clearly written portrait of care and treatment for the mentally ill which is an important contribution, not only to the history of asylums and mental health, but to the growing literature on 'welfare peripheries' and the history of health and social care in Wales.' Contemporary British History 'You don't have to be Welsh, or have any knowledge of the history of the treatment of mental illness, to appreciate this otherwise fascinating book...' Wellcome History
