Pussin and Pinel were instrumental in the development of humane treatment for individuals with mental illness. They advocated for the removal of restraints and the use of kindness and understanding in the care of those with mental illness.

Roentgen and Pasteur made important contributions to medicine and science, but their work did not directly impact the modern era of treatment as much as Pussin and Pinel's did. Lavoix and Millet and Mesmer and Charcot also made significant contributions, but again, their work did not have the same impact on modern treatment as Pussin and Pinel.
