Bethlem Hospital, popularly known as "Bedlam", is a unique institution. Now seven hundred and fifty years old, it has been continuously involved in the care of the mentally ill in London since at least the 1400s. As such it has a strong claim to be the oldest foundation in Europe with an unbroken history of sheltering and treating the mentally disturbed. During this time, Bethlem has transcended locality to become not only a national and international institution, but in many ways, a cultural and literary myth.The History of Bethlem is a scholarly history of this key establishment by distinguished authors, including Asa Briggs and Roy Porter. Based upon extensive research of the hospital''s archives, the book looks at Bethlem''s role within the caring institutions of London and Britain, and provides a long overdue re-evaluation of its place in the history of psychiatry.

"Man, you know I got you!" is said between the lines so many times, but we want to rip it from the page and plaster it in Times Square.

Man, I have got you. Seriously.

Men''s mental health is in a crisis, and being told to "man up" isn''t solving anything. Instead, we''re inspiring a new generation of men to Circle Up. To commit to one another''s mental health, growth and development. To find strength in community, righteousness of truth, and courage in vulnerability.

This book will challenge everything you think you know about mental health, and get to the core of why men suffer and why they don''t have to.

Together, we can change men''s mental health. It starts right here - Circle Up!

SAM DEMMA, Award-Winning Youth Speaker and Entrepreneur

"A great piece of work that provides solidarity around coping with mental health. Men tend to be more of a closed book when discussing these topics but ''Man, you know I got you'' is a book you must open to feel the presence of an author who understands the world of mental health on an extremely relatable level."

COLE ROWDEN, CEO of Ethos Ventures

"As an Arab man, I find this text to not only encompass the hard pill our generation of men have had to swallow for decades, but a manual to discovering the strength in opening up to the real issues inside. Jonathan''s art in expression makes him unique and relatable to millions of men across all walks of life, especially for those needing the assurance in knowing their feelings and struggles are valid. I pray that men get to share this text with one another knowing where real strength lies: together."
