  • Title: [You said Pinel?].
    Author: Chazaud J.
    Journal: Hist Sci Med; 1996; 30(2):173-7. PubMed ID: 11624871.
    Abstract:
    Pinel's action had to be "disabused". Pinel remains nevertheless a "mythical" figure of French Psychiatry even if he has not "removed the chains from the insanes", neither actually founded a "Subject in madness" nor, more simply, it's Moral Treatment. A Medical Practitioner and a neo-stoïcian Philosopher more than an Ideologist, when he stated a principle of curability and reversibility of mental alienation and classified it's clinical order of accessibility, his "founding gesture" was systematically associating those principles with the restoration of a status of Subject of Rights to those who lost their Reason.
