Negotiating Insanity In The Southeast Of Ireland, 1820–1900

Cox deepens readers' understanding of attitudes towards the mentally ill and institutional provision for the care and containment of people diagnosed as insane. Uniquely, she expands the analytical focus beyond asylums incorporating the impact that the Irish poor law, petty session courts, and medical dispensaries had on the provision of services.
