520    BETHLEM HOSPITAL is the oldest mental institution in the 
       world, to many famously known as 'Bedlam': a chaotic 
       madhouse that brutalised its patients. Paul Chambers 
       explores the 800-year history of Bethlem and reveals 
       fascinating details of its ambivalent relationship with 
       London and its inhabitants, the life and times of the 
       hospital's more famous patients, and the rise of a 
       powerful reform movement to tackle the institution's 
       notorious policies. Here the whole story of Bethlem 
       Hospital is laid bare to a new audience, charting its well
       -intended beginnings to its final disgrace and reform.
