Mental Health Nursing : The Working Lives of Paid Carers in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Hardback
Edited by Anne Borsay, Pamela Dale
Part of the Nursing History and Humanities series
Hardback
Description
This book seeks to integrate the history of mental health nursing with the wider history of institutional and community care.
It develops new research questions by drawing together a concern with exploring the class, gender, skills and working conditions of practitioners with an assessment of the care regimes staff helped create and patients’ experiences of them.
Contributors from a range of disciplines use a variety of source material to examine both continuity and change in the history of care over two centuries.
The book benefits from a foreword by Mick Carpenter and will appeal to researchers and students interested in all aspects of the history of nursing and the history of care.
The book is also designed to be accessible to practitioners and the general reader. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good health and well-being. -- .
