Tuke was born at York . His name is connected with the humane treatment of the Insane , for whose care he projected in 1792 The Retreat at York, which became famous as an institution in which a bold attempt was made to manage Lunatic s without the excessive restraints then regarded as essential. The asylum was entirely under the management of the Religious Society Of Friends . Its success led to more stringent legislation in the interests of the insane. REFERENCES |
