| abstract | - The Rutledge Private Clinic and Asylum: Home of Wayward & Lost Souls is a psychiatric hospital and asylum in London. It is where Alice Liddell was taken to after entering her catatonic state caused by the death of her family. After her psychotic break as a child, Alice was at the mercy of the 19th century Victorian medical community. During the course of her treatment, she was mistreated and abused by doctors and the Superintendent's nephews. Alice was under the care of Dr. Heironymous Q. Wilson, who genuinely cared about her recovery which seemed hopeless at times. Since Alice was hospitalized at Rutledge in the 1860s to the 1870s, the residing doctors and nurses were known to use various types of medicinal treatments on their patients such as the use of straitjackets, sensory deprivation, experimental medication, leeches, electroshock therapy, trepanning, and lobotomies. Alice's time at Rutledge is detailed in Wilson's casebook and the Alice: Madness Returns Storybook.
