Madhouse: A Tragic Tale of Megalomania and Modern Medicine
Andrew Scull
Convinced that he had uncovered the single source of psychosis, Henry Cotton, superintendent of the Trenton State Hospital, New Jersey, launched a ruthless campaign to 'eliminate the perils of pus infection'. This book reconstructs a nightmarish, cautionary chapter in modern psychiatry when professionals failed to police themselves.
