项目摘要

Michael Maclean [pseud], my maternal uncle, was detained within the high-security psychiatric system from 1972 to 2002 after being convicted of a criminal offence and sectioned under the 1959 Mental Health Act. Maclean's offence carried a maximum sentence of five years, but his hospital order was for an indefinite time period. I am researching a historical memoir centred on Maclean's experiences, investigating his life in these institutions and the medical care they provided. The project draws on privileged access to institutional files; archival material; my recollections of childhood visits to my uncle; interviews with Mikey, family members, former patients and clinical staff. The result will be an indepth examination of the world of a high-security psychiatric patient and the social, medical and judicial institutions that shaped it. The work combines theoretical investigations into mental illness, secure institutions and the criminal justice system, with creative experimentations in life-writing. Broadmoor, Ashworth and Rampton have often been associated with a small number of notoriously violent individuals. This creative project seeks to narrate the life of a man whose 'psychopathy' rendered him highly stigmatised and to consider the implications for institutional and public responses to serious mental illness.

我的母亲叔叔迈克尔·麦克林（Michael MacLean [Pseud）在1972年至2002年被定罪，并根据1959年的《 1959年《心理健康法》》（Chance Ricment）被定罪后，于1972年至2002年被拘留在1972年至2002年的高安全性精神病系统中。麦克林的罪行最高判处五年，但他的医院命令是无限期的。我正在研究以麦克林经历为中心的历史回忆录，研究了他在这些机构中的生活以及他们提供的医疗服务。该项目借鉴了对机构文件的特权访问；档案材料；我对童年拜访我叔叔的回忆；与Mikey，家庭成员，以前的患者和临床人员的访谈。结果将是对高安全性精神病患者的世界以及塑造它的社会，医疗和司法机构的世界。这项工作结合了对精神疾病，安全机构和刑事司法系统的理论研究，并在生命创作中进行了创造性的实验。 Broadmoor，Ashworth和Rampton经常与少数臭名昭著的暴力个人有关。这个创意项目旨在叙述一个男人的生活，该男子的“精神病”使他受到污名化，并考虑对严重精神疾病的制度和公众反应的影响。
