''On The State Of Lunacy And The Legal Provision For The Insane: With Observations On The Construction And Organization Of Asylums'' is a book written by John Thomas Arlidge in 1859. The book is a comprehensive study of the state of mental health care in England during the mid-19th century. The author discusses the legal provisions for the care of the insane, including the Lunacy Act of 1845, and provides an overview of the construction and organization of asylums. Arlidge explores the history of mental health care, from the time when the mentally ill were confined in prisons and workhouses to the establishment of asylums. He examines the different types of asylums, including public and private institutions, and discusses their management and organization. The author also provides insights into the treatment of the mentally ill, including the use of restraints, medication, and occupational therapy. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mental health care and the legal provisions for the care of the insane. Arlidge’s observations and recommendations are still relevant today, and the book provides a fascinating insight into the early development of mental health care in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
