"Description of a Retreat" (1813) is a milestone in the history of world psychiatry. The book is the first to attempt to describe mental illness as part of the human experience and recovery as a process of rehabilitation. It discusses the complex interaction between a person with a mental disorder, those who should help him, and the environment in which this help is offered. The book is radical and, judging by the impact it has had on the understanding and treatment of mental disorders, certainly revolutionary.
