| Event: | SSS-12 MAD YANKEES | | Date: | April 14th, 2011.
| | Time: | 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM | | Category: | SSSpring | | Contact: | Prof. Lawrence Goodheart, Presenter | The presenter details the formative years (1824 to 1869) of the Hartford Retreat for the Insane (now the Institute for Living) through examination of the professional lives and times of its first superintendent, Eli Todd, and a number of his successors, who were all early proponents of "moral treatment," which aimed at curing the acutely ill and providing long-term, humane care for the chronically ill. The history of the Retreat chronicles the dawn of modern psychiatry.
