Jamie chats with Dr Mike Finn. Mike explores some of the major debates and challenges happening in psychiatry in the years around 1875. These included discussions about how mental disorders should be classified, diagnosed and treated. He also uncovers how research in a Yorkshire asylum provided the bedrock for the development of modern neuroscience.

Mike is a Lecturer in History of Science in the Centre for History & Philosophy of Science at the University of Leeds.
