The history of the introduction of Dr. Conolly's non-restraint system into the asylums of England (see his recent work, On the Treatment of the Insane without Mechanical Restraints,) affords a similar illustration of this truth. Hailed by the medical press, and by the public thankfully received, the non-restraint system had to fight its fight against prejudice and opposition, with those most versed in the detail management of the insane.Google Scholar
