The Poor Law of Lunacy
Author: Peter BartlettPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567562174
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
In The Poor Law of Lunacy, Peter Bartlett examines the legal and administrative regime of the 19th-century asylum, arguing that it is to be thought of as an aspect of English poor law in which the medical superintendent of the asylum has little power. The text also examines the place of the county asylum movement in the poor law debates of the mid-19th century. Using the Leicestershire asylum as a case study, the author looks at the role of the poor law officers in the admission processes of the asylum, and relations between poor law staff, asylum staff and the poor law and lunacy central inspectorates.

Book Description
In this stimulating book, the author argues that the only way for radical improvement in our impoverished mental health sector is only achievable if mental health consumers have a much more powerful say in the planning and running of services. Only then will we see new directions in treatment, more relevant services, and considerably increased quality - consumers as colleagues.

The Workhouse System 1834-1929
Author: M. A. CrowtherPublisher: Routledge

Pages : 318
Book Description
First published in 1981. Professor Crowther traces the history of the workhouse system from the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 to the Local Government Act of 1929. At their outset the large residential institutions were seen by the Poor Law Commissioners as a cure for nearly all social ills. In fact these formidable, impersonal, prison-like buildings – housing all paupers under one roof – became institutionalised: places where routine came to be an end in itself. In the early twentieth century some of the workhouses became hospitals or homes for the old or handicapped but many continued to form a residual service for those who needed long-term care. Crowther pays attention not only to the administrators but also to the inmates and their daily life. She illustrates that the workhouse system was not simply a nineteenth-century phenomenon but a forerunner of many of today’s social institutions.
