This is a 'Strong Dress'. Basically, a dress that was worn by female patients who would rent their clothes and then use the shreds to self harm. A modern version of this is still used in certain circumstances.

I loved this little cat picture with a cat examining the bumps on another grumpy looking cats head.
A nice little touch is the Phrenology head on the table in the shape of a cats head. This was part of a whole series of cat inspired pictures by another patient.

I had the chance, a good few years ago, to visit an old establishment that was once an institution for the "mentally insane", a very old Gothic creepy hospital which was itself the stuff of nightmares. On the top floor, secreted away, was a room kept as a " museum", though obviously it wasn't open to the public. It had some monstrous things in there- drawers full of lobotomy slides, hideous iron bed with straps and manacles..most disturbing of all though was this old oak barrel. Story went that some poor unfortunate boy spent x number of years " living" in this barrel ( ie he wasn't allowed out of it).. I don't recall how many, but can't imagine he could have lived very long. He was considered too dangerous to society to be let out of it. This was the Victorian era.
My grandmother used to work in one such place ( a lunatic hospital) around the war years, I hope to God people were more enlightened by that time. It's thought provoking for me, cos now I work with some pretty challenging and troubled youngsters myself- thank God we now have the knowledge and compassion to treat people more humanely ( I'm sure there will be comments to follow!).
The hospital I visited became a Moslem school for girls at least 15 years ago...I have no idea what it's present role is or if it's been demolished, but what a horrendous place.

Some wise words.
A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
She continued, "The stresses and worries in your life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about nothing but them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."
Remember to put your glass down.
