Where this comes from

Abstract

Eighty years ago, psychiatrists believed that mental illnesses were caused by, among other things, excessive devotion to sport, the introduction of phones and motor cars, ill-sorted marriages and perverted sexual intercourse. Psychiatric theories and institutions in Australia have come a long way since then.
