Up to the present time, historiography has described overcrowded facilities for the mentally disturbed and the fact that old buildings such as convents and spas were turned into establishments for treating patients with mental problems during the Civil War. However, research reviewing the institutional life and conditions of psychiatric patients during this war is still rather scarce.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The aim of our article is to discuss the characteristics of the patients at Santa Isabel National Mental Asylum between 1936 and 1939, as well as the functioning of this institution located in Legan\u00e9s, a city to the south of Madrid (Spain). The method for this study includes a review of the medical records, statistical registers and other documents kept in the institution\u2019s Historical Archive. In addition, using documents from other Spanish archives, as well as information obtained from contemporary and secondary sources, we attempt to describe similarities to and differences from other mental institutions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0957154x15624812","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,18]],"date-time":"2016-01-18T20:42:37Z","timestamp":1453149757000},"page":"51-64","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Psychiatric care at a national mental institution during the Spanish Civil War (1936\u201339): Santa Isabel de Legan\u00e9s"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Paloma","family":"V\u00e1zquez de la Torre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Universitario de Fuenlabrada (Fuenlabrada), Comunidad de Madrid"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olga","family":"Villasante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Universitario Severo Ochoa (Legan\u00e9s), Comunidad de Madrid"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0957154X15624812","unstructured":"Archivo de la Diputaci\u00f3n Provincial de Toledo.
