Unchainer of the Insane
I ordered the book "Philippe Pinel Unchainer of the Insane" by Bernard Mackler (1968) just to read the references to my ggggrandfather's brothers and sisters - I have to get information from wherever I can - and I ended up enjoying the reading, specially the following passage:
"...Present day psychiatry can look proudly at his view of moral treatment for, in many ways, his ideas are finally being put into use. Pinel tried to abandon the inhumanity of his time..."
"...We no longer need to break the chains of mental patients, thanks to Pinel and others, but we still must learn how to care for one another. Pinel left a rich heritage in his idea of moral treatment for it applies both to abnormal and to normal behavior... "
