Mental health disorders, during the Greek and Roman period, were called things like melancholia, dementia, hysteria, and hallucinations (“Abnormal Psychology,” 2010). These ailments were thought to be caused by some physical problem. Hippocrates believed that these brain pathologies were causes by humors. These humors were yellow bile, black bile, blood, and phlegm (“Abnormal Psychology,” 2010). Plato and Aristotle were also of the opinion that mental disturbances came from inside the individual and not outside forces such as evil spirits (“Abnormal Psychology,” 2010). As the presence of Christian priests grew across Europe during the Middle Ages mental health disorders were viewed as the conflict between good and evil (“Abnormal Psychology,” 2010). During this time, patients suffered cruel methods of treatment to rid them of evil spirits. These methods often resulted in death of permanent disability. It was during the Middle Ages that hospitals for the mentally ill began to emerge (“Abnormal Psychology,” 2010). The Renaissance, a time when science grew, saw a German physician named Johann Weyer specialize in mental health. Johann Weyer is considered the father of psychopathology. There was some progress in the treatment of the mentally ill made in England and Belgium but by the mid sixteenth century it began to fall off as asylums were being built to replace hospitals (“Abnormal Psychology,” 2010). During the time of the French Revolution, Philippe Pinet became chief physician at the La Bicetre asylum in Paris (“Abnormal Psychology,” 2010). Pinet believed that the individuals in the asylums were sick and in need of kindness and care. Around this same time, William Tuke began a similar campaign in the United States. Dorothea Dix furthered this campaign for kind care of the mentally ill in the US and took it to the level of political reform. Each
