    This week's episode examines a lot of history that led to the construction of the Seacliff Lunatic Asylum in New Zealand. Learn why New Zealand had six asylums built within a 20 year span in the mid-1800s and still required more space. Find out why the architect of Seacliff fled to Melbourne following construction of the asylum.

    My main sources for this episode include The History of Seacliff by Frank Tod and an anthology called Unfortunate Folk: Essays on Mental Health Treatment 1863-1992 edited by Barbara Brookes and Jane Thomson. All other sources will be listed at the end of the episode transcript.
