    The treatment of mentally ill people has evolved over time as the medical community had increased its understanding of the underlying causes of the disabilities. Asylums, places that housed the mentally ill in the 19th century, used harsh, painful, and inhumane methods to treat their patients. These methods of treatment began to change after Dorothea Dix, a teacher and nurse in the Civil War, began visiting asylums and reporting it to the public what she had witnessed. Dorothea Dix studied these patients and the treatments used on them for nearly her whole life, then helped a movement along to help asylums be better. Her criticisms of the asylum system would begin to change public opinion which was leading to laws being enacted to reform the…

    Art reflects life: as society and its institutions change, art remains as a record of historical thoughts and practices. The way in which society views and treats those suffering with mental illness varies depending on the contemporary theory for its cause and its place among society.

    1) I thought this documentary was very eye opening and educational. It has really shown how far psychology has come and why studying psychology is so important. This documentary took us from the dark and bleak times when patients were treated as prisoners and given zero hope. The institutions were essentially prison for the mentally ill, where the doors were always locked and cramped. One of the most appalling illustrations of how the patients were treated was showcased when we heard about the nurse smacking the blind man across the back of his head and stating “live among shit, become shit.”…

    I found watching the video to be very interesting and fascinating. It was so weird watching myself listen to others.

I think that I could work on my emotional support response strategy.…

    Cube Interpretation: Analysis of Mentally Disabled in Society Suppose you were handed a particularly hard math problem to do. In order to help you solve this problem you are given two resources. One of these resources is a mathematics professor and your other resource is a mentally disabled college student.

It is believed that Bethlehem Hospital, also known as St Mary Bethlehem was founded before 1547, but wasn’t until then that it began to house the insane. King Henry VIII presented policy, which ordered monasteries to end taking further care of the insane and assigned those individuals to the Bethlehem Hospital in the city London. The intentions behind asylums were to aid the mentally ill in overcoming their illnesses, therefore, soon after the establishment of Bethlehem Hospital, other countries began to follow this movement in mental health facilities.…
