ESTHER 1114360 MORAL MANAGEMENT

Moral management was effective .Perhaps it was without the anti psychotic drugs which is used now.Moral management was discarded later in the 19th century.There were many reasons like increasing the hospital facilities which reflects the wrong belief that bigger hospitals would differ from smaller hospitals only in size.One more reason was the mental hygiene movement which introduced a treatment which was based on the physical well-being of mental patients .Under this condition the patient's level of comfort improved but they didn't  receive any help for their mental problems.Development in the biomedical science contributed to the discardation of moral management.The mental hygiene movement has been accounted for many humanitarian achievements.
