Objectives The primary objective of this article is to paint an institutional portrait of the Saint-Jean-de-Dieu Asylum over the first hundred years of its existence, from 1873 to 1973. The secondary objectives are as follows: 1) explore how prevention policies at the end of the 19th century had the effect of increasing the asylum population rather than reducing it; 2) discuss mental health policies that sought to "treat the social" outside the walls of the asylum in an effort to decrease the population; and 3) address the arrival of psychopharmacology that opened the doors of the asylum and turned it into a modern psychiatric hospital, soon renamed Louis-Hippolyte-Lafontaine. Method Since the past exists in silence, and finding data that will enable us to reconstruct a history of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu is a challenge.

The late eighteenth and early nineteenth century witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of pauper lunatics being admitted to institutions and many mentally-ill paupers found their way into workhouses. The range of options existing for the admission of paupers, who at the time were described as lunatics or insane, included private madhouses, charitable asylums, public asylums as well as workhouses. Legislation relating to transfer from a workhouse to a one of these other institutions was ambiguous and depended on the concept of dangerousness and whether a workhouse inmate was manageable, rather than the nature of their illness.

The deinstitutionalisation of mental hospital patients made its way into UK statutory law in 1990 in the form of the NHS and the Community Care Act. The Act ushered in the final stage of asylum closures moving the responsibility for the long-term care of mentally ill individuals out of the NHS and into the hands of local authorities. This article examines the reaction to the passing of the Act in two major tabloid presses, and , in order to reveal how community care changed the emotional terrain of tabloid storytelling on mental health.
