This volume contains “voluntary and curable” patient casebooks compiled by the Bethlem Royal Hospital during the period 1816-1913. These patients admitted themselves to the hospital under their own free will.
Voluntary and curable patient casebooks, 1816-1913 (Reference: CB): The earlier casebooks include the patient’s name and admission date, as well as a description of their illness and observations on their behaviour. After 1909, the books record additional information, such as the patient’s residence, profession, marital status, number of children, father, spouse, religion, and age. Each casebook contains an alphabetical index of patient names.
