While a substantial body of literature on 'shell shock' exists, this study uncovers the mental wellbeing of civilians during the war.

Drawing extensively on archival and published sources, this book examines the impact of medical, scientific, political, cultural and social change on civilian asylums. It compares four asylums in London, each distinct in terms of their priorities and the diversity of their patients.
