   Nov 4, 2011 · 38 Arguing for the institutional confinement of the insane, some early champions of the asylum system claimed that removal from family life was, for many lunatics, a prerequisite to recovery (Scull, ‘Historical Reflections’, 3). Historians have tended to dismiss such arguments as self-serving, but it seems very likely, as Elizabeth Bott suggests, that for some inmates the asylum served as ...

   What happened to mental asylums in Britain?

   • Half a century ago every British city had at least one mental asylum on its outskirts, but these were rapidly closed down and sold off, often to become luxury flats or the site of a supermarket.

   • By the 1980s, deinstitutionalisation was in full swing, with patients being returned to their communities in large numbers.
