Palliative--Rather than push for a cure, simple institutionalization.  Includes rest, removal from stimuli, and medication.  Often a euphemism for neglect, but many asylums can do little more than this.
 
Conditional--Founded in antiquity, championed by [[Dr. Harrod Tasker]], this methodology views madness is mostly moral laxity; the cure is rigorous discipline and aversive stimuli to manage unwanted behavior. 
 
Surgical--Claims malformation of the [[brain]] leads to psychological problems, which must be physically corrected.  Includes [[trepanning]], transorbital lobotomy and full lobotomy.
 
Most [[Alienist | alienists]] use a combination of these methods--in particular, analytical interviewing with hypnosis--depending upon preferences.

The coining of the term dates back no more than a century in these most advanced of lands. It is defined as the study of the soul. A century and a half will pass before a first attempt is made to redefine it as the study of the mind. And three centuries will pass before it is defined in the modern sense as the study of behaviour.
