What Asylums Were, Are, and Ought to Be, Being the Substance of Five Lectures Delivered Before the Managers of the Montrose Royal Lunatic Asylum

In this groundbreaking work, psychiatrist W. A. F. Browne offers a critical examination of the history of mental health care and the role of asylums in treating those with mental illnesses. He argues for a more humane and compassionate approach to treatment, one that views those with mental illnesses as deserving of respect and care. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of psychiatry and mental health care.
