Throughout the first several chapters, mental illness has been treated as a much more communal issue than I had anticipated. Especially in colonial times, there seemed to be an emphasis on the idea that these “distracted” or “disturbed” people needed the support of the community around them to keep them alive. I question whether the motives of such efforts to “help” the mentally ill in colonial times were merely to help the communities keep face rather than providing any real lasting aid to t… text/html 2023-09-07T07:02:44+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://courses.mcclurken.org/wiki/doku.php?id=2023-471g4--week_2_day_2&rev=1694070164&do=diff 1. I found the comparisons Shorter makes between the French and Germans regarding their effectiveness and level of care toward the mentally ill to be very striking.

Chapter three briefly discusses patients and their understanding of their illnesses and how the majority believed the causes to be psychologically motivated rather than physical. I think this is an important distinction to make, especially when prominent figures like Benjamin Rush were inclined to believe the causes of mental illness to be physical. It makes me wonder if more patients were listened to could we have developed a better understanding of the roots of mental health issues sooner? … text/html 2023-09-14T13:57:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://courses.mcclurken.org/wiki/doku.php?id=2023-471g4--week_3_day_2&rev=1694699826&do=diff 1.

I found it particularly interesting how Dr. McClurken chose his selected region of focus. The selection of Pittsylvania county and Danville specifically as the town of focus helps to isolate the issue of mental health and “human consequences”. I thought this angle was a very informative one because a lot of Civil War history tends to glance over these “human consequences” and focus moreso on battles, casualties, and general destruction. -Joey Welch text/html 2023-09-28T16:02:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://courses.mcclurken.org/wiki/doku.php?id=2023-471g4--week_5_day_2&rev=1695916922&do=diff Considering chapter 3 from Madness in the City, did formerly enslaved people’s use of Saint Elizabeth serve another purpose besides asserting their right to use the institution for medical care? — Ruth Curran Considering chapter 3 from Madness in the City, How would the white people’s view of freed enslaved people affect their ability to integrate into their lives as free people? — Ruth Curran text/html 2023-10-05T11:04:28+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://courses.mcclurken.org/wiki/doku.php?id=2023-471g4--week_6_day_2&rev=1696503868&do=diff 1.
