1. Although treatment that emphasized a curative point may have had some more humane aspects that were absent from some earlier treatments for mental illness, humane treatment was not the most essential element incorporated in this concept. Belief in a curative point presented the possibility that those with mental illness could actually improve rather than just be maintained. The curative point did not emphasize specific interventions, nor did it advocate specific herbal remedies.
