Focusing on the history of civilian asylums during the First World War, this open access book highlights the impact of wartime austerity on mental health care. It challenges the prevailing notion that changes in psychiatric treatment were primarily influenced by soldiers' experiences, instead providing a comprehensive account of 100,000 civilian patients in London. By examining four distinct asylums and utilizing extensive archival research, the book reveals how medical, political, and social changes shaped healthcare decisions in times of crisis.
