| The various asylums of the Land of Mists pursue many different methodologies. These may be grouped roughly into the following categories:
| |
|
| |
| Analytical--Pioneered by the [[Mousel Family]], this is a talking/interviewing method that focuses on empowering the conscious mind.
| |
|
| |
| [[Oneirology | Oneirological]]--Pioneered by [[Dr. Gregorian Illhousen]], this branch claims the secret to unraveling the psyche is within the subconscious, accessed via hypnosis and dreams.
| |
|
| |
| 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.
