Because I was communicating with our tour director who is in half a shake in Ireland, he in a relaxed manner mentioned that one of the museums we will be visiting - the Shape War Museum, which houses artifacts from WWI and WWII - IS BUILT ON THE Intelligence OF BETHLEM Imperial Sanatorium (a.k.a. "Mayhem")! So, my flood is now (as naively) a psychology history flood as well!
For my students who may be confused as to why I am so excited about this, Bethlem was a disgraceful mental hospital that, in practice, operated second like a zoo. Top figure exceptional psychology textbooks make some suggestion of it (systematically as an example of why work reforms in mental appropriateness care were so direly looked-for). In fact, our term "unruliness", which is used to give testify or an out-of-control situation is inferior from this hospital's name!The IWM's website describes the history of Bethlem Imperial Sanatorium like this:
The building which accommodates the Shape War Museum London was formerly the imperative plateful of Bethlem Imperial Sanatorium, or Mayhem, as it was steadily recognizable. Deliberate by James Lewis, it was washed up in 1815. Sidney Smith's sports ground was extra in 1846 and hidden the chapel. The east and west wings were demolished in the earlier 1930s to make room for the park which now surrounds the Museum.
"Bethlem Imperial Sanatorium dates back to 1247, in the function of Simon Fitz-Mary, a overloaded alderman and sheriff of London, founded the Priory of St Mary of Bethlehem on the site which is now part of Liverpool Fast lane Dispatch. In the fourteenth century the priory began to specialise in the care of the insane. In 1547 Henry VIII arranged the hospital to the Inner-city of London.Bethlem was inspired to a new building in Moorfields in 1676. Until 1770 put forward were no restrictions on concert party, and the lunatics, who were systematically manacled or chained to the stockade, were a public attraction."
"The hospital was housed in the present building from 1815 to 1930, in the function of it was transferred to Eden Agree near Beckenham, Kent."
"Patients included Mary Nicholson who tried to slay George III in 1786; Jonathan Martin, loving in 1829 at what time setting fire to York Minster; the painters Richard Dadd and Louis Wain, astonishing for his cartoons of cats; Antonia Washed-out, author of Bitter in May and Outer surface the Glass; and the architect A W N Pugin who aimed the Houses of Assembly and St George's Roman Catholic Minster invert the Museum."
As if I looked-for several rationality to be excited about this trip! Can't luggage compartment to transport back photos to share!"
