Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the life of Dr. Philippe Pinel, a French physician who revolutionized the treatment of mental illness in the late 18th century. It follows his journey from his humble beginnings to his appointment as chief physician at the Bicêtre and Salpêtrià re hospitals in Paris, a time when asylums were more akin to prisons. Despite fierce opposition from his peers and society as a whole, Pinel championed a radical and more humane approach. He believed in treating patients with compassion and respect, and gradually abolished the use of chains and other brutal methods of restraint. His work paved the way for significant advancements in psychiatry and the establishment of mental health institutions that prioritize the well-being of their patients. This book explores Pinel's groundbreaking theories and practices, placing them within the broader context of the Enlightenment's pursuit of reason and humanitarianism. It highlights the profound impact of his ideas on the field of mental health and underscores the enduring importance of his legacy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333751593_0
