ABSTRACT:
Early conditions of lunatics started with the myths of treatment of Greek physicians. The use of massage, food, specialized bath has been mentioned in earlier written records. The conditions of lunatics remained to be pathetic with chains. The churches gave a possession by spirit aspect to the insane. Barely hospitals existed for admission of lunatic and those which existed believed in chaining. By the time reform started for care of insane de-chaining was the first welcome move. The need for female care takers came up for those admitted insane. Better results were felt worth appointing trainees female caretakers for insane. Prominent physicians advocated training for female caretakers with a psychiatric aspect. Courses were designed and upgraded for psychiatric nursing and inclusion of public domain in that. The path was ever evolving with a lot more to added from the eighteenth century.
