Why did "treatment" of the mentally ill in the 1500's focus on torture, exorcism, or hanging?
◦ These methods had proven effective in curing people with mental illness in the past, so practitioners stayed with a tried-and-true approach.
◦ Herbal remedies were the preferred treatment of choice, but it was too difficult to gather the ingredients needed for more humane treatment.
◦ These methods were popular with crowds, and authorities wanted a large group to witness the consequences of mental illness.
◦ The predominant view of the time was that mental illness was a form of demonic possession, which led to treatment methods aimed at ridding a person of the "demon."
