Jump to
William Tuke (24 March 1732 – 6 December 1822) was an English tradesman, philanthropist and Quaker, who promoted more humane methods of custody and care for people with mental disorders using "gentler" methods that came to be known as moral treatment. He was a major figure in founding The Retreat at Lamel Hill in York for treating mental-health needs. Tuke and his wife Esther Maud supported stricter adherence to Quaker principles. He was an abolitionist, a patron of the Bible Society, and an opponent of the East India Company's inhumane practices.
