Andrew Scull provides a rigorous historical examination of the nineteenth-century asylum system, focusing on the harrowing case of the Ticehurst Asylum. By meticulously reconstructing the experiences of both patients and practitioners, the narrative exposes the systemic failures and moral complexities inherent in the Victorian approach to mental health and institutional confinement.
