The Last of the Lunatics Book

'I must be one of the few surviving specialists who recall how mental illnesses ran full bore . . .' John Cawte gives a searing personal account of the treatment of the mentally ill before the advent of anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs. Bursting asylums were wastelands of stigma and dread.
