Chapter 01: The History of Mental Health Care
Morrison-Valfre: Foundations of Mental Health Care, 6th Edition
1.
Which early civilization first attributed mental illness to natural rather than supernatural causes?
A) Roman Empire
B) Ancient Egypt
C) Ancient Greece
D) Medieval Europe
ANS: C
Rationale: Greek physicians such as Hippocrates viewed mental illness as resulting from imbalances of bodily
humors, not from possession or witchcraft — marking the first naturalistic interpretation of mental disorders.
2.
The “humoral theory” of disease proposed by Hippocrates emphasized that:
A) Personality and mental health depend on harmony between four body fluids
B) Mental illness results from demonic possession
C) Mental disorders have purely environmental causes
D) Emotional disorders cannot be physically treated
ANS: A
Rationale: Hippocrates’ humoral theory linked health to the balance of blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile.
Imbalance led to physical and psychological illness.
3.
During the Middle Ages, mental illness was most commonly treated by:
A) Cognitive-behavioral therapy
B) Exorcisms and imprisonment
C) Moral education
D) Psychoanalysis
ANS: B
Rationale: Medieval Europe reverted to superstition; mental illness was viewed as sin or demonic possession, leading
to exorcisms and confinement rather than medical treatment.
4.
“Bedlam” became synonymous with chaos and cruelty because it referred to:
A) The first American psychiatric hospital
B) The Bethlehem Hospital in London
C) The French asylum system
D) The Parisian hospital of Salpêtrière
ANS: B
Rationale: Bethlehem Hospital, or “Bedlam,” offered protection from execution but provided inhumane and chaotic
conditions for the mentally ill.
