Reviews

As developments in medicine gave rise to germ theory and other improvements, more middle-class patients came to be institutionalized. Burke takes us through the history of the institution, explores the effects of social and scientific changes, and examines the social context and health of children and their families. The book contains much detail, including both science and social dimensions, but overall is quite accessible. Recommended. Choice
