Artists would draw the patients in such extreme poses as "rage" and "melancholy", as though witnessing at first hand the passions locked within all of us. There they could be gawped at by the public from viewing galleries. In Monro's day, the Bethlem, or "Bedlam" as it became popularly known, was a place where people were confined if they were too poor to afford specialist care at home, or if they were unmanageable in the community. ![]() The Bethlem was a monastic foundation dating from 1247 and a centre for the care of the mentally ill since the early 15th century. His work there spread over four decades, until his death in 1791. Monro was the second of a dynasty of medical practitioners who ran the Bethlem Hospital from 1728-1853. Monro's casebook is published here by Andrews and Scull as part of their exploration of what they term the "mad-doctoring" trade in the 18th century. Yet the language used on this card was reminiscent rather of the world of John Monro's fascinating casebook of 1766. It immediately struck me how like the problems seen by a community psychiatrist these were. Through my door today came a small, green card: "Sheik Imam, Godgifted Marabout, he work with very powerful spirits can help for all your problems regarding love, lucky, work, exams, business, black sickness, protection against evils spirits, future regarding sexual impotency etc." At the bottom of the card was a local phone number and address. They place these "cases" in a real world where John Monro and othersuccessful doctors were practicing, not to say inventing, the diagnosis and treatment of madness. In the fragmented stories Monro's case book provides, Andrews and Scull find a poignant underworld of human psychological distress, some of it strange and some quite familiar. The volume concludes with a complete edition of the case book itself, transcribed in full with editorial annotations by the authors. Monro's case book, comprising the doctor's jottings on patients he saw in the course of his private practice-patients drawn from a great variety of social strata-offers an extraordinary window into the subterranean world of the mad-trade in eighteenth-century London.
