Abstract

Ce matin du 8 septembre 1854, trois hommes frappent à la porte d'Hersilie Rouy. Sans ménagement, ils la conduisent à la maison de santé de Charenton, à la demande de son demi-frère ; puis prétendument indigente, elle est placée à La Salpêtrière, sous le nom de Chevalier ! Erreur administrative ou malveillance…Voilà cette femme, professeur de piano et concertiste de 40 ans, qui n'a rien d'une « folle », perdue dans le labyrinthe asilaire, au milieu des hystériques et autres « agitées ». Or, Hersilie est une indocile : dès qu'elle proteste, c'est la camisole, et son quotidien se résume aux brimades des infirmières et aux traitements musclés des médecins qui, tout au long de son internement, diagnostiquent une folie lucide. Alors qu'elle n'a de cesse d'alerter les autorités de sa situation, elle n'est libérée qu'en 1868. Elle réclame aussitôt sa réhabilitation et une réforme des asiles, mobilisant la presse qui s'empare de « l'Affaire Rouy » ; elle transforme ce fait divers en une affaire nationale, politisée par les républicains de gauche, en lutte contre ces nouvelles Bastilles. Yannick Ripa suit pas à pas cette femme hors du commun et la fait revivre sous nos yeux ; parus après la mort d'Hersilie, les Mémoires d'une aliénée, dans lesquels la réalité dépasse souvent la fiction, sont un plaidoyer à charge contre l'asile et sa fonction politico-sociale au XIXe siècle.

Abstract

The author studies Portuguese psychiatry in the period of its institutionalization. It summarizes the international scientific-medical context, showing the progress of medicine, where, in addition to biology, the study of psychogenetic formulations began at the end of the 19th century. It then analyses the national context, including legislation, establishments and their history, regulations, plans for reform, publications and scientific dissemination, and education, highlighting the reform of 1911. The protagonists, their ideas and published works are analysed, trying to show their differences of opinion in various matters, in historical times crossed by social and political conflicts, but of great wealth in the level of ideas. If in the first phase the main figures are heralds of eighteenth-century philosophical and scientific currents, in the second phase new ideas arise that allow the renewal of the relations between neurology and psychiatry, and a more psychological and psychotherapeutic attitude is disclosed. In conclusion, psychiatry, according to a multidisciplinary enlargement, is defining more diverse forms of institutional treatment, with a more inclusive biological vision.

Abstract

Psychiatry has always aimed to peer deep into the human mind, daring to cast light on its darkest corners and untangle its thorniest knots, often invoking the latest medical science in doing so. But, as Owen Whooley's sweeping new book tell us, the history of American psychiatry is really a record of ignorance. On the Heels of Ignorance begins with psychiatry's formal inception in the 1840s and moves through two centuries of constant struggle simply to define and redefine mental illness, to say nothing of the best way to treat it. Whooley's book is no antipsychiatric screed, however; instead, he reveals a field that has muddled through periodic reinventions and conflicting agendas of curiosity, compassion, and professional striving. On the Heels of Ignorance draws from intellectual history and the sociology of professions to portray an ongoing human effort to make sense of complex mental phenomena using an imperfect set of tools, with sometimes tragic results.

Abstract

L’« Ethnopsychiatrie » d’Henri Ellenberger est la première synthèse de langue française sur cette discipline hybride située entre psychiatrie et ethnologie, qui s’est développée après-guerre à la fin des empires coloniaux et qui a connu un succès foudroyant ces dernières décennies. Ce corpus présente un grand intérêt du point de vue de l’histoire des sciences humaines et sociales. D’une part, il constitue un cas d’étude de circulation des savoirs entre la France et l’Amérique du Nord, puisqu’il a été rédigé à Montréal par un médecin et chercheur formé à Paris. D’autre part, il permet d’interroger le moment de transition entre la médecine coloniale et les pratiques contemporaines de l’ethnopsychiatrie en métropole avec des migrants. Cette nouvelle édition en trois parties s’ouvre par une présentation générale qui resitue les sources dans le contexte des savoirs de l’époque, en mettant l’accent sur les acteurs et les réseaux savants, entre médecine, psychologie et sciences sociales, dans une perspective historique. Le texte original est quant à lui reproduit à l’identique et annoté. Enfin un choix d’archives inédites est proposé, dont un enseignement délivré au Canada et un échange épistolaire avec Georges Devereux. Henri Ellenberger’s “Ethno-psychiatry” is the first synthesis in the French language on this hybrid discipline at the crossroads of psychiatry and ethnology, which developed in the post-war era with the end of colonial empires and which has met with tremendous success in recent decades. This body of work is of great interest within the history of humanities and social sciences. On the one hand, it represents a case study of the circulation of knowledge between France and North America as it was written in Montréal in an English-speaking and academic environment by a French-speaking researcher educated in Paris. On the other hand, it raises interesting questions about the transition between colonial medicine and the contemporary practices of…

Abstract

Communicating the History of Medicine critically assesses the idea of audience and communication in medical history. This collection offers a range of case studies on academic outreach from historical and current perspectives. It questions the kind of linear thinking often found in policy or research assessment, instead offering a more nuanced picture of both the promises and pitfalls of engaging audiences for research in the humanities. For whom do academic researchers in the humanities write? For academics and, indirectly, at least for students, but there are hopes that work reaches broader audiences and that it will have an impact on policy or among professional experts outside of the humanities. Today impact is more and more discussed in the context of research assessment. Seen from a media theoretical perspective, impact may however be described as a case of 'audiencing' and the creation of audiences by means of media technologies. "This collection explores the history of medicine's relationships with its audiences, from the early twentieth century to the present. Throughout, the authors discuss how historians of medicine and other humanities disciplines have interacted with - and impacted - their audiences. Topics examined across the ten chapters include medical education, policy making, exhibitions and museums, and film and television.Historians have always interacted with a variety of audiences and there is a common desire for research to appeal to broader audiences with impact beyond the humanities. For historians of medicine, these often include: government committees and commissions dealing with ethical issues in biomedicine; journalists asking for historical perspectives on new medical discoveries - as well as abuses and controversies; museum curators and visitors; healthcare practitioners and students and sometimes even medical researchers utilising historical material.By examining a range of case studies on academic outreach, Communicating the history of medicine seeks to challenge the idea that communication between researchers and their audiences is unidirectional. By employing a media theoretical perspective, this volume discusses how historians can create impact with audiences for academic knowledge production via 'audiencing'." -- Back cover.

Abstract

Written by one of the world's most distinguished historians of psychiatry, Psychiatry and Its Discontents provides a wide-ranging and critical perspective on the profession that dominates the treatment of mental illness. Andrew Scull traces the rise of the field, the midcentury hegemony of psychoanalytic methods, and the paradigm's decline with the ascendance of biological and pharmaceutical approaches to mental illness. The book's historical sweep is broad, ranging from the age of the asylum to the rise of psychopharmacology and the dubious triumphs of "community care." The essays in Psychiatry and Its Discontents provide a vivid and compelling portrait of the recurring crises of legitimacy experienced by "mad-doctors," as psychiatrists were once called, and illustrates the impact of psychiatry's ideas and interventions on the lives of those afflicted with mental illness.

Abstract

Jane Freebody offers a fresh perspective on life in the asylum in both England and France which will be of interest to historians of the institutional everyday as well as historians of psychiatry. In this fascinating and original study, she not only focuses on the less examined interwar period and the importance of patient occupation, but, most strikingly, takes a comparative analysis that goes beyond the transnational into more detailed considerations of place; with an insightful evaluation of the metropolitan versus the provincial in shaping institutional responses. Clare Hickman, Reader in Environmental and Medical History, University of Newcastle, UK. This ambitious exploration of patient occupation in interwar French and English mental institutions sheds light on a hitherto under-investigated aspect of life in the asylum – the nature, meaning and therapeutic implications of work for asylum regimes, staff and patients. This is an important and original study of value for anyone interested in twentieth-century psychiatry and institutional practices. Hilary Marland, Professor of History, Centre for the History of Medicine, University of Warwick, UK. This open access book demonstrates that, while occupation has been used to treat the mentally disordered since the early nineteenth century, approaches to its use have varied across time and place. Comparing how work and occupation were used in French and English mental institutions between 1918 and 1939, one hundred years after the heyday of moral therapy, this open access book is an essential read for those researching the history of mental health and medicine more generally.

Abstract

Schizophrenia was the most widely discussed psychiatric disorder during the second half of the 20th century. This study examines the changing concepts of schizophrenia among psychiatrists and in the general population, the changing role of psychoanalysis in this process, and the crisis in the mental health profession triggered by these changes. Schizophrenie - kaum ein anderer psychiatrischer Krankheitsbegriff wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts so intensiv und kritisch diskutiert. Auch innerhalb der Psychiatrie herrschte alles andere als Einigkeit über den Begriff, die Ursachen und Behandlungsmethoden. Von den ersten Berichten psychotherapeutischer Behandlungen bis hin zu den Erfahrungsschilderungen von Betroffenen rekonstruiert Sandra Schmitt, wie sich die Vorstellungen von Schizophrenie nach 1945 veränderten, welche Rolle die Psychoanalyse dabei spielte und wie die Psychiatrie darüber in eine Krise geriet und sich durch methodische Verwissenschaftlichungen wieder stabilisierte. Die Studie beschreibt die Zirkulation von Wissen und die Etablierung neuer Deutungen des Schizophreniekonzeptes und liefert so einen Beitrag zur Wissens- und Kulturgeschichte der Psychiatrie in Ost- und Westdeutschland.
