General overviews of the field are a great place to start if you want to learn more about the fascinating past of psychiatry. But it's important to remember that these overviews will always show the writers' own points of view. Daniel Hack Tuke's "Chapters in the History of the Insane in the British Isles" is one of the oldest books on the subject and has a lot to teach us. This book came out in 1882. It was written by Tuke, who used to be the editor of the Journal of Mental Science, which was called the British Journal of Psychiatry in the 1800s. Within its pages, Tuke tells the story of how psychology has changed over time, from its beginnings at Bethlem to the founding of the York Retreat. He also talks about the strategy of not putting people in restraints at the Lincoln and Hanwell asylums. Tuke's conclusion sums up the change from the roughness and darkness of the old system to the "sweetness and light" (p. 495) of the new system's creed."
