This historical study conveys the social, political, and intellectual background of Philippe Pinel, world renowned for his psychiatric reforms, his scientific analysis, and observational methods of patients and his humane, innovative, “moral” treatment programs. His psychiatric reforms are studied, not only from Pinel's perspective but also as to how the pre- and post-revolutionary era of France aided and stunted social reforms.
