Description

Half their number were saddled with the additional encumberment of a plastic card hung around the neck on a thin, silvery chain-link lanyard spelling out the label 'STUTTERER' in glossy raised gold capitals. Not, ironically this violet eyed specimen, despite having developed a most debilitating nervous stammer even before beginning her tenure in this place. They were berated for the tiniest slip, while she would simply be told to take her time, to avoid long words and those she knew she couldn't' pronounce. Her stammer would be met with a condescending smile and the patient, resigned advice to try again avoiding this word or that or to find a shorter, simpler term - it was an insidious process she worried was making her worse not better....following on from the previous Institutionalised novels comes this final chapter in the trilogy.

Institutionalised

Beyond the Stanford Experiment


Where it all began...

Two unrelated young women coincidently find themselves in similar circumstances; each having an inheritance at stake with a grasping manipulative stepmother holding the purse-strings. Both girls have found an ally in a supportive, if overbearing, ‘aunt’ figure but find themselves lovingly guided into a stifling and increasingly dependent relationship. An advertisement calling for medical research volunteers seems to offer an ideal opportunity for each to temporarily distance herself from her situation. But is all as it seems? Why is the security so tight? Why are there bars on the windows? Why all the petty rules, restrictions and talk of punishment? This, volume 1 of this adults-only trilogy, uniquely ties together such themes as corporal punishment, bondage, humiliation, medical fetish, mind control, incarceration and others.












Institutionalised - 2

Confined in the Workhouse


Where it went next...

Two young women have been talked, cajoled and manipulated into joining a privately financed, residential medical research project. Initially signing up for 3 months, isolated within a secure hospital psychiatric wing in a world of petty rules, straitjackets, bedpans, plastic knickers, diapers, restrictive school uniforms and drab prison dresses, each has now served that term several times over; one bristling under a strict boarding-school regime, the other under prison discipline. Overseen by strict nurses, a stern, cane wielding hospital matron and a female psychiatrist, who glories in manipulating her young charges by the deliberate induction of phobias, each has been browbeaten into extending her stay over and over again. Elsewhere a girl awakens, ostensibly following a car crash – but why is she restrained behind bars on a locked ward? Why does she recall the sting of the tawse, rather than the twisting of metal?

Key Words: A Special Note

You may find that just below some chapter titles there are a couple of short lines of text enclosed within brackets - these are not part of the chapter title, nor do they necessarily represent the storyline, rather they are there as keywords for the benefit of various search engines but presented in the form of sentences so as to circumvent those search engines that might otherwise ignore or reject keywords if stated as such, or lists of words without context.





Foreword

Welcome to this, the third in the ‘Institutionalised’ series, an on-going adult saga exploring the domination, stringent discipline, corporal and psychological punishment and exploitation of certain vulnerable young ladies in both institutional and domestic settings. It is strongly recommended that prospective readers first read the previous two books in this series - namely Institutionalised volumes 1 and 2 (by the same author) – although a brief synopsis is provided below; along with a little ‘scene setting’ for those whose memories need refreshing and/or appetites whetting.




The Story So Far


Sharing similar personal circumstances if separated by time - though not to such a great extent as to prevent some degree of overlap of their fates - two teenage girls, Susan Stringer and Lavinia Vitesse, have been persuaded to join a residential behavioural psychology study being run in a clinical unit discreetly buried away deep within the bowels of a private psychiatric hospital.
A third young lady, Meredith Hewson, has regained consciousness in a hospital bed, by all accounts following a road traffic accident. Harbouring apparent recollections of sexual and physical abuse at the hands of a church official in some sort of charity run ecclesiastical home for ‘wayward young women’ she too has also somehow been persuaded to join a sub-section of the same study.
What ties together the life paths of these three - other than their passage through the above mentioned institution – is that each has spent some length of time living with a woman going by the name of Julia Soames:one being the woman’s actual niece, one whose stepmother is a close acquaintance and one given room and board under the auspices of the woman’s position as an ‘outreach social worker’.
At the conclusion of Institutionalised volume two we saw two of the above young ladies being hurriedly moved from the institution, apparently in response to a pending police investigation triggered by the ex-boyfriend of the car crash victim into her disappearance.

Continuing on from Institutionalised volume two , here we track the progress of one of our characters - one Lavinia Vitesse, a lovely, lively young thing with hair of glossy Whitby jet, the deepest violet eyes and pretensions to acting, catwalk modelling and harbouring a passion for ‘dance’. Having remained in the institution and having been ‘rescued’ by two female police officers, she has been examined by a trio of eminent psychiatrists.
On the surface of it, all might have gone well had she not immediately begun making allegations regarding the department of experimental behavioural psychology – the very existence of which is vehemently denied by the hospital management – the department’s use of corporal punishment and the other discipline methodologies in place, such as the enforced wearing of prison uniform in one section and archaic school uniform in another. When she then goes on to claim that the document she has previously signed consigning her to the institution as a voluntarily admitted psychiatric patient rather than a volunteer clinical study subject was under duress, under the threat of a caning, and that her continued incarceration is part of a conspiracy involving her guardian and a renown psychiatrist her fate is sealed.
Condemned as a ‘delusional psychotic’ and ‘sectioned’ under the mental health act – a process involving her compulsory admittance to the hospital as a mental patient – she panics and makes a dash for a door at the rear of the room she is in, believing it to be the one the panel of psychiatrists had entered by and thus expecting it to lead out in to the main part of the hospital. Instead she unaccountably finds herself back in the department of experimental behavioural psychology from whence she had been taken and confronted by ‘Matron’, a stern faced woman dressed in the navy blue uniform dress and starched white apron favoured by the British hospital matrons of old and who habitually wears a strap or cane hanging from a loop on her belt. . . As the story opens she has been told in no uncertain terms that she is to be returned to the discipline of the ‘Schoolroom’; a section of the non-existent department of experimental behavioural psychology configured as something approximating to an extremely strict past-times English boarding school for girls.



As the story unfolds we also get transported back to the events preceding those of Institutionalised volume one . We learn more of how the bright, outgoing Lavinia came to be so dominated and browbeaten by her aunt, Julia Soames, that not only did she become subject to that overbearing woman’s petty rules, regimented routines and regulations but also subject to corporal punishment - and placed in her aunt’s idiosyncratic take on school uniform, to boot, despite being of marriageable age. We learn a little more of the beginnings of the ‘institution within an institution’ that is the department of experimental or investigative behavioural psychology and of the origin of young Meredith Hewson’s various deficits alluded to at the culmination of volume two, both psychological and apparently – though not necessarily so physical.




Prologue


St Mary’s Hospital Reform School - the motto:T hrough obedience comes learning, through discipline comes obedience . It was humiliating enough that it should be proudly emblazoned on the front of the gymslip, let alone that it should be repeated on the breast pocket of the stiff, starched, high-collared blouse, the little open-fronted waist-length cape that fastened so tightly about her throat and that she was obliged to wear on occasion over the top - and just about every other item of clothing to boot.
