- Abstract
- This paper explores the practice of care for patients in Aradale, the asylum established in the rural city of Ararat on the Victorian goldfields in 1867. It describes the institution's descent into madness, from the idealized image of treatment behind its construction to the abject failure of the institution to realize those ideals and the resulting horror of its history. The paper utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on both historical methodology and Jungian analysis in trying to understand the history of the asylum and the society in which it operated.
