On 21 February 1884, a sub-committee of the Medico-Psychological Association meeting in Glasgow was appointed to prepare a handbook ‘in the hope of helping Attendants on the insane to a due understanding of the work in which they are engaged’. With commendable speed the four gentlemen concerned, Drs A. Campbell Clark, C. McIvor Campbell, A. R. Turnbull and A. R. Urquart, completed their allotted task, and in 1885 The Handbook For The Instruction Of Attendants On The Insane was published.
