Are women past caring Care is essential to social relationships and individual well-being. It is woven into New Zealand's key social institutions, such as the family, and is also embedded in societal expectations around state provision of health and welfare.

Written by medical students at the University of Otago, this title examines aspects of the early and modern history of mental health institutions in New Zealand and attitudes toward patients as unfortunate aliens to the world of reason. It also looks at that country's professionalisation of psychiatry, women psychiatrists, and more.
