Title
Famille, communauté et folie au tournant du siècle
Abstract
An examination of the role of family and community in the care and exclusion of mental illness in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Eastern Townships. In the late nineteenth century, Anglophone males made up the majority of those who were declared legally incapable due to mental illness in this region. The author questions the views that cast the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century responses to insanity as institutional exercises in social control driven by state and medical bourgeois elites.
