Dr.Philippe Pinel at the Salptrire (Releasing Lunatics from Their Chains) by Tony Robert-Fleury, 1795
Traitment Moral/Bictre
The ex-patient Jean-Baptiste Pussin and his wife Margueritte, and the physician Philippe Pinel developed the first form of moral treatment at La Bictre in Paris Pussin first freed patients of their chains and banned physical punishment, although straitjackets could be used instead. Patients were allowed to move freely about the hospital grounds, and eventually dark dungeons were replaced with sunny, well-ventilated rooms. Former patients were hired as staff : In addition to being gentle, honest, and humane, former patients are less likely to abuse or mistreat the inmates and are more likely to respect them as fellow human beings

Founded Hull house in a poor neighborhood of Chicago The first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize People do not always have to be removed from their current life circumstances in order to receive assistance in addressing their difficulties What one person is likely to find helpful are the same kind of things another person will likely find helpful were that person in the same life situation A person should not be viewed as being either a person needing help or a helper, people are most often in both roles at once. It may be easier to accept help from others if one feel that one is giving help as well Helping people sometimes extend beyond individuals and their families to the levels of the community, the city, state, and the country (and beyond)
