The director of the Hospital for the Alienated to follow Lazlo Monz, Joachim Antuns (born 688 BC[1] and served as director from 712 BC to 748 BC[2]) provided a much more humanitarian face to the position than his predecessor. He believed that the mentally disturbed must be interred both for their sake (to be studied and treated) and for the public at large (to be protected.) Joachim linked madness to biological factors such as biological inheritance and folds in the brain. Joachim employed phrenology and physiognomy to develop typologies of mental illness. He monitored patient progress through interviews and surveillance for certain special cases. Twenty years in, he developed post-mortem psychosurgery, but only rarely applied his leucotomy to living patients because of its potential danger.[3]
At the present time, Joachim has semi-retired and left much of the hospital's functions to his son Philibert Antuns. Joachim is filled with guilt and doubt accumulated from his many years of work. However, he questions the changes his son is making even more, leaving relations between the two strained. Philibert, for his part, has been pushing his father further and further out of the loop.[4]
