Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Delve into the fascinating history of the Asylum for the Chronic Insane, established in 1877 as a refuge for those with incurable mental illnesses. This compelling account transports you back to a time when the understanding of mental health was limited, and asylums served as both havens and challenges for their inhabitants.

The book explores the challenges faced by the asylum's staff in providing care and comfort to their patients, while also shedding light on the evolving attitudes towards mental illness and the treatment of those afflicted.
