The Publication of Reil's Theories Regarding Psychiatry and The Psychology of Bertha Mason in Jane Eyre

          Johann Christian Reil, a German psychologist, helped to make a distinction between philosophy and psychology by giving credence to the field of psychology at the time. He is often credited with coining the term "psychiatry" (Schochow, Steger). Psychiatry, in it's most basic interpretation, is essentially treating the mind as something that can be rehabilitated. This would mean that different conditions could be applied to the state of mind that somebody is in, and an intervention process could exist depending on the circumstances.

Heston

Heston is first mentioned in the novel as Margret is looking at an atlas. She is looking at a map of England to find a place for her mother and Dixon to stay while her and her father look for houses in Milton. Margret says that she heard that Heston is a "pleasant little bathing-place" and believes that the ocean air will be good for her mother to calm her before they make the move into Milton. Mrs. Hale and Dixon stay in Heston for about two weeks, which was quite the expenditure for Mr. Hale.
