{"product_id":"9781786231154","title":"The Early Public Lunatic Institutions of England Part I: A Comprehensive Model of their Governance and Management","description":"In the published literature of madness, and its institutional management, the earliest English institutions for the mad have tended to be treated as part of a “bad old days,” from which progress has been painfully made to modern knowledge, and humanitarian treatment, of mental illness. This book takes issue with this simplistic account and re-examines these early institutions, using their own records. It suggests that the institutional governors, while somewhat distanced from day to day institutional management, were relatively well-intentioned, and that the institutions were far more complex in their organisation and functioning than has previously been reported.","brand":"Grosvenor House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167961759984,"sku":"9781786231154","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781786231154_p0.jpg?v=1763729360","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781786231154","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
