Moral treatment model

Explanation:

Moral treatment was the cornerstone of mental health care in the 1800s. The idea it rested on was humane but paternalistic: moral treatment’s advocates believed that an asylum patient had a better chance of recovery if treated like a child rather than an animal. It was introduced by Quaker asylum director William Tuke at the end of the 1700s. Moral treatment rejected orthodox medical treatments used in asylums of the time, which mostly involved blood-letting, purging and physical restraints such as chains.
