The Hidden Patients

The title “The Hidden Patients” was chosen for three reasons, the principal one being that female Muslim patients were somehow “hidden in plain sight” – present in the colonial institutions, but ignored in the written sources. Colonial psychiatry’s strong focus on criminal insanity on the one hand and Muslim normality on the other distorted the portrayal of the clinical reality 40 and resulted in certain topics being neglected despite the breadth of publications. The physical absence of psychiatric texts concerned with female Muslim patients effectively hid them from the eyes of readers of the academic literature.41
