- Pinel Unchains the Insane, from "The History of Medicine"
- Artist
- Robert Thom
- Physical Description
- The Father of Psychiatry, French physician Philippe Pinel, in 1795 ordered chains and fetters removed from insame women in the Salpêtrière, large Parisian hospital. Two years earlier, he had similarily unchained insane men in the Bicêtre.

His success in curing and relieving patients suffering from mental diseases opened new perspectives for psychiatric research and practice.
