THE MIDDLE AGES:

In this period the clergy took over care of mentally disturbed persons. Under the influence of theology the old demon principles were restored. In time complete psyhiatric theory and practice were exhausted through constant persecution of
heretics. The ritual by which the devil was driven out was also restored. There was opinion that mentally disturbed persons were in collusion with Satan and that they had supernatural power. The torment of the body was regarded as torment of Satan who was in it.
