Phillipe Pinel, one of the founders of modern psychiatry, was a major figure in early efforts to provide humane care and treatment for the mentally ill.

In 1795, Pinel was appointed as chief physician at Salpetriere, the female asylum in Paris.

Until the 1800's, the mentally ill were treated like animals, locked in institutions where the rest of society could pay for admission to see them in horrid conditions: chained to walls, wearing rags, living in their own filth, beaten or simply neglected.

In 1794, French psychiatrist, Dr. Phillipe Pinel, the leading authority on mental illness in France at the time, became the director of the Bicêtre, an asylum for men in Paris.
Pinel launched a movement…a movement to advocate for the “moral treatment” of people with mental illnesses.

A number of factors led up to the enactment of community mental health legislation in New York – legislation which, for the first time, established a mechanism to combine state and local government funding and charitable contributions to support community-based mental health services for the seriously mentally ill.

Jean-Baptiste Pussin, superintendent of the "incurables" ward at La Bicetre in Paris,removed their chains and forbade the staff to beat patients, but Phillipe Pinel was actually given credit for this, probably because Pinel was a physician and Pussin was a layman.
Later, Pinel became chief physician at another mental hospital and made even more radical changes.
He replaced the dungeons with airy, sunny rooms, halted treatments such as bleeding, purging, and cupping (blistering the skin with small hot cups), listened to their problems and gave comfort and advice.He also kept records and developed a case history for each patient which led to charting of characteristic patterns of disorders.
