By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Fran ois Simonet de Coulmier (September 30, 1741 - June 4, 1818) was a French Catholic priest and abbot, and the director of the Charenton insane asylum in France in the early 19th century. He was often criticized for his "overly liberal" methods of treatment, as he favored allowing patients the right to express themselves via art, and discouraged the more primitive habits of crude physical restraint and punishment of mental patients of the day.
