Why is it important?
The decision to use an autoethnographic research method is informed by several factors, including the wealth of knowledge of the authors, the limited number of such accounts, the inherent humanity of the subject matter, and the inevitable and unstoppable impact of the lived reality of mental illness in society. There are also fewer mental health nurses who were trained in the era of the ‘asylum attendant’. The editors felt that it was important to record some of the essence of this.
