A History of the Mental Health Services, originally published in 1972, is a comprehensive and revised edition of two earlier works: Lunacy, Law and Conscience and Mental Health and Social Policy. This revised version spans from the end of the Second World War to the passing of the Mental Health Act 1959, incorporating a new section that extends from 1959 to the Social Services Act 1970. The narrative begins with the initial legislative recognition of the need for treatment for individuals deemed "furiously and dangerously mad as a class," tracing the evolution of reform and experimentation during the nineteenth century. It encompasses the establishment of the asylum system and culminates in the era of Goffman, Laing, and Szasz, marked by the virtual disappearance of this system. This book holds significant appeal to students specializing in mental health, sociology, social policy, health policy, and law.
