James Coxe
Scottish psychiatrist
Sir James Coxe MD FRSE (1811 – 1878) was a Scottish physician and expert on psychiatry. Controversially (though not at the time) he linked mental illness with a distancing from religion and with a parallel deterioration of the body.[1] Rather more productively, he was an early campaigner against restraint in asylums,[2] and he advocated greater training of women in the field of medicine.[3]
