Social alienation was one of the main themes in Francisco Goya's masterpieces, such as The Madhouse (above). The<unk>  (alternatively mental<unk>  or insane<unk>  was an early precursor of the modern psychiatric hospital. The fall of the<unk>  and its eventual replacement by modern psychiatric hospitals explains the rise of organized, institutional psychiatry. While there were earlier institutions that housed the "insane", the conclusion that institutionalization was the correct solution to treating people considered to be "mad" was part of a social process in the 19th century that began to seek solutions outside for families and local communities.
