- This c. 100,000-word monograph analyses how professional bodies for psychiatrists, nurses and social workers, and the voluntary sector, sought to represent mental illness to the public, locating this analysis within shifting political, medical and cultural contexts over a 100-year timespan. Research drew on ten archival collections held at six archives, supplementing these materials with extensive research of medical periodicals and professional journals, memoirs, articles and other printed sources. Analysis of this primary material was grounded in the expansive multidisciplinary literature on mental health.
