"Like Spiders' Webs for Flies": False Confinement in
Nineteenth-Century English
Asylums
By Samantha M. Grow
Books and newspapers in nineteenth-century England portrayed false confinement as an immense and widespread problem which caused a great deal of concern. Public panics led to preventative legislation, but still the protest groups spoke out. Was false confinement truly a problem, or was it blown out of proportion? If it was not a problem, what does this then say about the "anti-psychiatry" movement in history?
