Through the lens of the hospital magazine
An exploration of the pages of two psychiatric hospital magazines, Speedwell from Holywell Hospital, Antrim, and The Sketch from Downshire Hospital, Downpatrick, reveals the activity-filled lives of patients and staff during the 1960s and 1970s. This was a time of great change in mental health care. It was also a time of political turbulence in Northern Ireland. With large in-patient populations, both hospitals had a range of occupational and spo…

Prisoner or Patient? The Official Debate on the Criminal Lunatic in Nineteenth-Century Ireland
Nineteenth-century Ireland was colonized and strictly controlled from Britain. In this highly regulated society, reports of the Inspectorate of Lunacy in Ireland were used to express an official medical view on criminal lunacy. This view was based on experiences gained in the Central Criminal Lunatic Asylum for Ireland, opened at Dundrum in 1850. This paper will examine some of the ideas expressed in these reports, including views on the treatmen…
Removing children from the care of adults with diagnosed mental illnesses—a clash of human rights
Health and social services providers throughout Europe are increasingly aware of the possibility of litigation from service users arising from the application of a human rights perspective to public service provision. The substantial body of case law that has emerged from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is used regularly as the basis for this litigation at national and European levels. This paper presents an analysis of ECHR cases relat…
The Relationship Between Marital Status and Health
Based on census materials collected in Britain from 1921 to 1991 and using bed occupancy as a proxy for health, this study focuses on the relationship between marriage and physical health. The results confirm the positive association between marriage and physical health within this society. Married people consistently make less use of residential health and social care facilities than do nonmarried people, and this relationship holds across all c…

Mental health from a gender perspective

Protective Europe
The aim of this article is to examine the impact of some of the major European institutions on mental health law and policy formation, with a view to establishing whether or not the European ‘project’ has made a difference in protecting individuals with mental disorders from interference or neglect by national governments. The discussion is divided into two parts: first, the role of Europe in protecting the human rights of people with mental diso…
Changing Places
Based on census materials collected in England and Wales from 1921 to 1991, this study focuses on gender differences in occupancy rates in hospitals and other mental health facilities in Britain. The results suggest that since 1991, or for the first time in the twentieth century, there are more males than females in residential mental health facilities in Britain. Furthermore, this pattern of association holds for all age groups except those aged…
Gender trends in occupancy rates in mental health beds in Northern Ireland
Mental health and social security
Although mental illness affects people from all income levels, a significant proportion of discharged psychiatric patients rely heavily on the benefit system. Therefore, changes in benefit entitlement are of great concern to these people who already find this system difficult to use. In the summer of 1995, using both focus groups and individual interviews, the views of 35 individuals with mental health problems and of five organizations involved …
Mad, not bad
The dark side of goodness
Within the context of the historical literature on the link between femininity and madness, and current psychiatric research on the mental health of women, this paper focuses on the lives of two women, who have suffered from severe mental illnesses and have been users of psychiatric services for over 30 years. Both cases illustrate the negative impact of the Irish concept of a ‘good woman’ on the mental health of those who do not fit easily into …
Surviving psychiatric insritutionalisation
This paper looks at the impact of psychiatric hospital treatment on the life of a man who spent almost forty years in a large mental hospital in Northern Ireland. Patient behaviour and staff experience of this behaviour are examined within the conceptual framework proposed by Erving Goffman. This man's story once again challenges the notion of the all-pervading power of the institution, and affirms the ability of some individuals to maintain a st…
Mental Health Policy in Northern Ireland
Mental health policy in Northern Ireland has moved through a number of phases during the past seventy years. This article examines some of the developments during each of these phases in the context of political factors which had an effect on policy formation and implementation. The services which existed in 1921 were deeply rooted in the lunacy legislation and provision of nineteenth century Ireland. The political uncertainty and financial strin…
Big Blue and the Unions
The system of industrial relations operated by IBM at its main British manufacturing plant in the west of Scotland is designed to individualise workplace relationships whilst, at the same time, generating employee loyalty to a well-defined corporate culture. The major characteristics of the IBM system are examined, together with the attitudes of a sample of employees towards the company and a number of more general social issues. It is argued tha…
