Sobre IBD

This is Volume IV in a series of seven about the Sociology of Mental Health. Originally published in 1960, this volume covers the period of a hundred years from 1845, and was extended to include the Mental Health Act of 1959. The last two chapters, therefore are not ’historical’ in character, but represent an interim assessment of events which are still close to the time of writing.
