Philippe Pinel Treatise on Insanity Head of Bicêtre Hospital for Men, 1793 Head of Salpêtrière Hospital for Women, 1795

Salpêtrière Hospital

Pinel’s Innovations Case Study Method: Detailed analysis of facts of individual case. Separation of patients according to diagnosis; new category of mania without delirium. Treatment was possible, not all madness from brain lesions. Moral Treatment: Mild but firm suggestion and even coercion.

Retreat at York

Description of the Retreat 1813 by Samuel Tuke, grandson of William Tuke

“If it be true, that oppression makes a wise man mad, is it to be supposed that stripes, and insults, and injuries, for which the receiver knows no cause, are calculated to make a madman wise? Or would they now exasperate his disease, and excite his resentment? Samuel Tuke, p. 144.

Tuke’s Principles 1) Strengthen the power of the patient to control the disorder. 2) Determine modes of coercion and restraint, when absolutely necessary. 3) Promote general comfort of the insane. Tuke, p. 138

Hieronymus Bosch “Ship of Fools” ( )

Foucault’s Depiction of Four Principles of the “Therapeutic” Asylum 1) Silence 2) Recognition by Mirror 3) Perpetual Judgment 4) Presence of Medical Personage

Bentham’s Panopticon, 1787

Critiques of Foucault No great confinement (limited to France in 1650s) Work duties not enforced in early asylums State did not have that much power over patients—negotiations between families, communities, local officials, superintendants. Great variety in quality of asylums. Romantic notion of the mad; what about their suffering?
