Considered the father of American psychiatry, Rush was an enthusiastic advocate of blood-letting, almost killing himself with it to cure Yellow fever. Blood-letting was used to “quiet the blood” because excessive stimulation and excitement produced mental & physical illness (Brunonian system). Rush founded a wing for treatment of the insane at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelpha. - His belief that the insane deserved treatment was admirable but his methods were barbaric.
Pinel is considered the father of scientific psychiatry. His personal experience with a manic-depressive friend motivated his interest in studying insanity. - Daquin asserted that insanity was a disease that could be understand by the methods of natural science.
Encouraged by Daquin, Pinel urged humane treatment of the insane, not beatings or ridicule. As a result he was appointed Director of the Bicetre asylum in Paris (1793).
In a cautious and systematic way, Pinel began removing chains from the inmates. - 8 years earlier, Chiarugi outlawed chains in Italy.
- One of the men released later saved Pinel from a lynch mob accusing him of poisoning wells & harboring rich.
- He used the minimal restraint necessary for safety.
Deaths fell from 50-60% to about 12% after he implemented his changes. In 1795 he was appointed head of La Salpetriere, the women’s asylum with 8000 inmates.

Pinel was asked to examine a boy of 12 who had walked out of the woods of Saint-Serin in Aveyron. Pinel was asked to examine a boy of 12 who had walked out of the woods of Saint-Serin in Aveyron. The boy seemed to bear upon a philosophical controversy – Rousseau said a natural life is best because civilization corrupts (noble savage idea). One of Pinel’s assistants, Itard, tried to educate him. - He was able to teach him basic self-care but not to talk. He was unpredictable and violent when stressed.
- His efforts suggested that retarded children from less deprived backgrounds might be helped by remediation

His claims of success were investigated and found to be bogus – the inmates were neglected and unimproved. Guggenbuhl fled with the money. His legacy is that hundreds of asylums for the mentally retarded were established with better results.
