In this week’s podcast, we return to mental medicine, setting out the forces behind the emergence of psychiatry: the rise of asylums, professional associations, research publications, and specialist training. These concentrated in Victorian times, but psychiatry itself did not become fully recognised as a speciality until the mid-twentieth century.
