L'Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique faisait l'archéologie du partage selon lequel, dans nos sociétés, le fou se trouve séparé du non-fou. Le récit s'achève sur la médicalisation de la folie au début du XIXe siècle. Le cours que Michel Foucault consacre à la fin de 1973 et au début de 1974 au «Pouvoir psychiatrique» poursuit cette histoire tout en infléchissant le projet: il s'agit ici de dresser la généalogie de la psychiatrie, de la forme propre de «pouvoir-savoir» qu'elle constitue. Pour cela impossible de partir de ce que serait un savoir médical sur la folie, inopérant dans la pratique. On ne peut rendre compte de la véridiction psychiatrique sur la folie qu'à partir des dispositifs et des techniques de pouvoir qui organisent le traitement des fous dans cette période qui va de Pinel à Charcot. La psychiatrie ne naît pas comme conséquence d'un nouveau progrès dans la connaissance sur la folie mais des dispositifs disciplinaires dans lesquels s'organise pour lors le régime imposé à la folie. Michel Foucault s'est souvent interrogé sur la vanité du discours des psychiatres, que l'on retrouve dans la pratique toujours contemporaine de l'expertise judiciaire. De ce point de vue, Le Pouvoir psychiatrique poursuit le projet d'une histoire des «sciences» humaines. Le cours s'achève à la fin du XIXe siècle au moment de la double «dépsychiatrisation» de la folie, dispersée entre neurologue et psychanalyste. Mais on trouvera dans le résumé du cours que Michel Foucault devait préparer pour l'Annuaire du Collège de France l'essentiel de ce qu'il n'avait peut-être pas eu le temps d'exposer dans ce cours. Si bien que Le Pouvoir psychiatrique va jusqu'à proposer une généalogie des mouvements anti-psychiatriques qui ont tant marqué les «sixties» du siècle précédent.

"The loss of reason, a sense of alienation from the commonsense world we all like to imagine we inhabit, the shattering emotional turmoil that seizes hold and won't let go--these are some of the traits we associate with madness. Today, mental disturbance is most commonly viewed through a medical lens, but societies have also sought to make sense of it through religion or the supernatural, or by constructing psychological or social explanations in an effort to tame the demons of unreason. Madness in Civilization traces the long and complex history of this affliction and our attempts to treat it. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Madness in Civilization takes readers from antiquity to today, painting a vivid and often harrowing portrait of the different ways that cultures around the world have interpreted and responded to the seemingly irrational, psychotic, and insane. From the Bible to Sigmund Freud, from exorcism to mesmerism, from Bedlam to Victorian asylums, from the theory of humors to modern pharmacology, the book explores the manifestations and meanings of madness, its challenges and consequences, and our varied responses to it. It also looks at how insanity has haunted the imaginations of artists and writers and describes the profound influence it has had on the arts, from drama, opera, and the novel to drawing, painting, and sculpture." -- Publisher's description
