Description: Many former psychiatric hospitals lie empty or have been turned to other uses, as more and more patients are mainstreamed into the community and daycare treatment. Clare Goodwin's images of these abandoned institutions, and the stories of patients, staff, residents and visitors, capture quiet insights of an era many might choose to forget, but which we cannot.
