Abstract

This chapter pays attention to one psychiatric institution that lay beyond the asylum: the cottage home for convalescents. In contrast to a binary relationship between hospital and home, particularly evident in a literature that still focuses on the nineteenth century, the Mental After-Care Association's archive suggests that cottage homes in the twentieth century may have served as clearing houses for the insane within a more complex network of institutional care. In turn, the chapter responds to appeals for more investigation into patients' emotional responses. Although such responses are opaque and often fleeting, the evidence surveyed points to the potential importance of personal circumstance to patients' interpretations of their identity and belonging within these halfway-houses.
