==Family==
Tuke came from a long line of [[Religious Society of Friends|Quakers]] from [[York]] who were interested in mental illness and concerned with those afflicted.  His great-grandfather [[William Tuke]] and his grandfather [[Henry Tuke]] co-founded [[the Retreat]], which revolutionized the treatment of insane people.

His father [[Samuel Tuke (reformer)|Samuel Tuke]] carried on the work of the York Retreat and reported on its methods and its results.  Daniel's older brother [[James Hack Tuke]] (1819–1896) was the next overseer of the York Retreat. Daniel was the youngest son of Samuel Tuke and Priscilla Hack, his wife.

Tuke's son was the painter [[Henry Scott Tuke]].

==Career==
In 1845 Daniel Tuke entered the office of a solicitor at Bradford, but in 1847 began work at the York Retreat. Entering [[St Bartholomew's Hospital]] in London in 1850, he became a member of the [[Royal College of Surgeons of England|Royal College of Surgeons]] in 1852, and graduated M.D. at Heidelberg in 1853.

In 1853 he visited a number of foreign [[mental hospital|asylum]]s, and later returning to York he became visiting physician to the York Retreat and the [[York Dispensary]], lecturing also to the [[York School of Medicine]] on mental diseases.

In 1859 ill health obliged him to give up his work, and for the next fourteen years he lived at [[Falmouth, Cornwall|Falmouth]]. In 1875, he settled in London as a specialist in mental diseases.

In 1858, in collaboration with [[John Charles Bucknill]], he published a ''Manual of Psychological Medicine'', which was for many years regarded as a standard work on [[lunatic|lunacy]]. In 1872 he published his most influential and popular book ''On the Influence of the Mind upon the Body in Health and Disease''. In 1880 he became joint editor of the ''Journal of Mental Science''.<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911|inline=1 |wstitle=Tuke |volume=27 |page=365}}</ref> In 1892 – in cooperation with many others as contributors, including the French neurologist [[Jean-Martin Charcot]] – he edited a ''Dictionary of Psychological Medicine'' in 2 volumes.

==Marriage==
In 1853 he married Esther Maria Stickney (1826–1917). They had three children, the second son being Henry Scott Tuke RA (1858–1929).
