Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moral treatment emphasized humane conditions, purposeful activities, and socialization. Physical restraints were considered degrading and inhumane, so they would be the least likely treatment to be used. Instead, patients would be engaged in purposeful activities and work-related tasks to promote their mental health and well-being. Medication was also not a common treatment during the moral treatment era, as it was believed that mental illness was the result of environmental factors rather than biological imbalances.
