Asylum and post-asylum geographies of psychiatric health care
Asylum and post-asylum geographies are the geographies that emerged before and after the closure of large-scale residential asylums for people with various health problems. The term is generally taken to refer to the location and use of health care facilities for people with mental health problems but can also refer to provision for people with learning difficulties physical handicaps, or substance misuse problems. More rarely the term references isolation facilities for infectious disease treatment, notably tuberculosis sanatoria. The focus here is on mental health.

Abstract
Asylum and post-asylum geographies are the geographies that emerged before and after the closure of large-scale residential asylums for people with various health problems. The term is generally taken to refer to the location and use of health care facilities for people with mental health problems but can also refer to provision for people with learning difficulties physical handicaps, or substance misuse problems. More rarely the term references isolation facilities for infectious disease treatment, notably tuberculosis sanatoria. The focus here is on mental health.
