Class, gender and insanity in nineteenth-century Wales.

This chapter shows how class and gender defined the experiences of patients admitted to the North Wales Lunatic Asylum during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Although not lending support to the notion that the asylum was predominantly an instrument of class and gender oppression, it does illustrate how threats of banishment to the asylum could be utilised to reinforce norms of social behaviour outside the institution in far-flung communities across north Wales. It suggests that lay rather than professional encounters were critical in the social construction of madness and the enforcement of social control.

[The Swedenborg mystery: sanity or insanity?].

In this article, the author proceeds to a clinical analysis of the Swedenborg phenomenon by examining the extraordinary life of this thinker who had a great influence on the intellectual world and the then rising psychology. The author examines more closely the progression and the colossal contribution of Emmanuel Swedenborg to several scientific fields. Finally, the author raises the issue of a possible psychiatric illness suffered by this individual considered during his time as the Leonardo de Vinci of the North, the Aristotle of Sweden.
