HHH Patient’s files survey asks for your help

As part of the HHH project “Patient’s files and privacy in medical history”, Eileen van der Burgh is putting together an overview of research that uses patient’s files as historical source material. In the history of psychiatry, patient’s files have been widely used as primary source material, but similar historical studies in other medical subdisciplines are harder to find. So we are making an appeal to the HHH community for help:

• Did you carry out this type of research?
• Or do you know publications of research that made use of patient’s files as source material?
