Web site on mental health (Asylums etc)

[brianb]

Hi all

I chanced upon a web site that has excelent info on mental hospitals / asylums etc. It is a Middlesex University site and has masses of details and explanations on the various mental health issues etc (Did you know a
licensed house wasnt a place to purchase alcohol but a place licensed to receive lunatics under one of the Acts of Parliament (from 1774 onwards).

mdx.ac.uk/WWW/STUDY/mhhglo.htm#WorkhouseAsylums

Well worth looking at even if only for a history of these places, words etc.

Thanks Brian,
I came to ask a question but a quick search for "Hospitals" gave me your link & I will peruse it later after the computer Dr. has been in to check out our 'patient' :)
