Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract From antiquity to the present, humanity has been preoccupied with experiences of mental diversity and distress, and with attendant questions about how to tame and repair the wayward mentalities of the “mad,” or “insane,” or “mentally ill.” Historians have chronicled a litany of scientific and cultural approaches, spanning the millennia, to the regulation and treatment of human distress – from the violent purging of demonic possession in the classical and medieval worlds; through the Enlightenment's embrace of the asylum as the archetype of all things rational; to the rise of moral treatment in nineteenth‐century Europe and the Americas; to the somber era of eugenics and somatic intervention that prevailed through to World War II; to a spate of radical developments over recent decades epitomized by the ascendancy of the psychopharmaceutical industry, the demise of the segregative mental institution, and the advent of grassroots recovery movements offering humanistic alternatives to the dominant biomedical paradigm of mental health treatment.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
