Book Histoire de la folie avant la psychiatrie

Download or read book Histoire de la folie avant la psychiatrie written by Boris Cyrulnik and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Absurdités, dérives, abus et même maltraitances ont jalonné l’histoire de la folie. Comment comprendre autrement le succès de Mesmer et de son baquet ? Comment rendre compte de l’attribution à Saturne des troubles de l’humeur et au démon des tourments de l’âme ? Comment justifier l’enfermement psychiatrique des dissidents sous Staline ? Entourés d’une dizaine d’experts – des psychiatres mais aussi une historienne, un interniste ou un neurologue – Patrick Lemoine et Boris Cyrulnik débattent du passé de la psychiatrie. Ils nous proposent de nous concentrer sur quelques questions très actuelles et pour le moins épineuses : quelle nécessité de fonder une nouvelle psychiatrie aujourd’hui, et quel avenir pour cette discipline, longtemps branche folle de la médecine ? Boris Cyrulnik est neuropsychiatre et directeur d’enseignement à l’université de Toulon. Il est l’auteur de très nombreux ouvrages qui ont tous été des best-sellers, parmi lesquels, tout récemment, Psychothérapie de Dieu qui est un immense succès. Patrick Lemoine est psychiatre. Spécialiste du sommeil, docteur en neurosciences, professeur associé à l’Université de Pékin, il a publié plus d’une trentaine d’ouvrages, parmi lesquels Le Mystère du placebo. Avec Patrick Clervoy, Jean Furtos, Jacques Hochmann, Danielle Jacquart, Pierre Lamothe, Pierre Lemarquis, Stéphane Mouchabac, Gérard Ostermann.

Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique."

Book La folie

Download or read book La folie written by Jean Thuillier and published by Robert Laffont. This book was released on 1996 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaque année, 800 000 Français consultent 10 000 psychiatres, et 80 000 patients sont hospitalisés pour des troubles psychiques allant de la dépression à la schizophrénie en passant par divers délires. Le public curieux s'interroge et veut comprendre la folie, qui souvent fait peur. Mais la maladie mentale est compliquée, mystérieuse, et le vocabulaire des psychiatres, aride et obscur. Quant aux journalistes et aux réalisateurs de " psy-shows ", leurs écrits et leurs présentations spectaculaires ne donnent qu'une idée banalisée et simpliste de problèmes graves. C'est pour dédramatiser la folie, la maladie mentale et la psychiatrie que ce livre a été écrit. La première partie, ponctuée de " Témoignages et documents ", retrace " l'histoire de la folie et de la psychiatrie " à travers les âges, la naissance de la psychiatrie et de la psychanalyse, la découverte des médicaments (psychotropes, tranquillisants), mais aussi des poisons de l'esprit (stupéfiants, LSD). La deuxième partie, consacrée à l'actualité et au devenir de la psychiatrie, donne la description de toutes les maladies mentales et fournit des conseils pratiques sur la dépression, les toxicomanies, les délires, la paranoïa, la schizophrénie, etc. D'autres chapitres abordent les thérapeutiques psychiatriques, l'antipsychiatrie, la criminologie, la sémantique ainsi que la folie dans ses rapports avec la littérature, l'art et le cinéma. La troisième partie, " Dictionnaire ", complète ce panorama avec ses 1 500 entrées ; il donne la description et l'explication de termes curieux et rares (tels que l'amok, le latah, le koro et le kuru, le susto, le taïjin-kyofu, le windigo...), de comportements déments ou pathologiques, ainsi que la biographie des psychiatres célèbres. Ce volume est une véritable encyclopédie de l'histoire de la rencontre inévitable de l'Homme et de la société avec la folie. Guy SCHOELLER.

Book Michel Foucault

Book excerpt: "This is a study of the French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault's 1976 work ""La Volonte de Savoir"". Dan Beer aims to uncover a network of ideas and linguistic patterns beneath the surface of the text. Through close textual analysis he addresses the issue of language and its effects on the world we inhabit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La parenté des figures du génie et du fou est sans doute une constante de la culture occidentale, sinon de toute culture. Elle figurerait vite comme synthèse anthropologique, dont la philosophie pourrait alors dévoiler la dimension fondamentale. Mais cette grande parenté dans sa généralité pure, c'est le propre d'une époque de lui donner un style d'existence unique où se précipite l'historicité têtue de nos concepts. Cette étude tente de ressaisir la structure concrète d'un questionnement autour de la folie artiste dans la littérature psychiatrique des années 1850 jusqu'à l'aube du XXe siècle. Elle voudrait décrire le grand passage de l'écrivain paranoïaque à l'artiste schizophrène, l'invention de la dimension politique d'une synthèse art/folie, l'émergence et la transformation des parentés culturelles : l'artiste et le fou, d'abord perçus dans le cousinage sombre du criminel et de la prostituée, seront bientôt affiliés au primitif et à l'enfant. Trois axes ont été dégagés au cours de cette étude : la constitution d'une science clinique de l'écriture aliénée ; l'élaboration de la figure du génie malade à travers les notions psychiatriques d'hallucination, de transe nerveuse et de dégénérescence supérieure ; la stratégie sociale recouverte par l'affirmation brutale chez les aliénistes de la qualité artistique des œuvres de leurs patients.

Book Un demi si  cle d histoire de la folie

Download or read book Un demi si cle d histoire de la folie written by Daniele Lorenzini and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Histoire de la folie l'âge classique de Michel Foucault a produit, au montent de sa publication, une onde de choc. Cet ouvrage, foisonnant, baroque, labyrinthique, est apparu aussitôt comme insituable. S'agissait-il d'histoire, de philosophie, de littérature, de sociologie ? Les partages disciplinaires traditionnels furent emportés par le courant impétueux de ce livre impossible. Mais il n'y eut pas que les cercles universitaires pour se trouver inquiétés par ces thèses tumultueuses (l'exclusion de la folie par l'âge classique, l'hypocrisie atroce de la libération des fous par les médecins modernes, etc). Le récit épique de l'enfermement des fous dans les prisons de l'ordre moral, des nouveaux partages imposés par les révolutionnaires, altérait la bonne conscience d'une psychiatrie qui se pensait, fondamentalement, et par la vertu d'une fondation originaire jamais interrogée, humaniste. histoire de la folie préparait ainsi les révoltes de l'anti-psychiatrie. Cinquante ans après la parution de ce qui, au départ, était une simple thèse de doctorat, l'éclat de la rupture est intact. Ce livre continue à troubler, fasciner, irriter. Notre culture ne l'a toujours pas digéré. On découvre sans cesse de nouvelles apories, de nouveaux problèmes, de nouvelles perspectives pour interroger l'avenir. Ces rencontres, provoquées à l'occasion de cet anniversaire ne sont pas des commémorations. Il ne s'agit pas d'établir scientifiquement ici ce que Foucault a vraiment voulu dire, mais d'entendre jusqu'à quel point, encore aujourd'hui, ce texte réinvente notre rapport à la folie.

Book A Vital Rationalist

  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 496 pages

Download or read book A Vital Rationalist written by Georges Canguilhem and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2000-04-04 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Canguilhem is one of France's foremost historians of science. Trained as a medical doctor as well as a philosopher, he combined these practices to demonstrate to philosophers that there could be no epistemology without concrete study of the actual development of the sciences and to historians that there could be no worthwhile history of science without a philosophical understanding of the conceptual basis of all knowledge. A Vital Rationalist brings together for the first time a selection of Canguilhem's most important writings, including excerpts from previously unpublished manuscripts and a critical bibliography by Camille Limoges. Organized around the major themes and problems that have preoccupied Canguilhem throughout his intellectual career, the collection allows readers, whether familiar or unfamiliar with Canguilhem's work, access to a vast array of conceptual and concrete meditations on epistemology, methodology, science, and history. Canguilhem is a demanding writer, but Delaporte succeeds in marking out the main lines of his thought with unrivaled clarity; readers will come away with a heightened understanding of the complex and crucial place he holds in French intellectual history.

Book Weariness of the Self

  • Author : Alain Ehrenberg
  • Publisher : McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
  • Release : 2010
  • ISBN : 0773577157
  • Pages : 345 pages

Download or read book Weariness of the Self written by Alain Ehrenberg and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2010 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression, once a subfield of neurosis, has become the most diagnosed mental disorder in the world. Why and how has depression become such a topical illness and what does it tell us about changing ideas of the individual and society? Alain Ehrenberg investigates the history of depression and depressive symptoms across twentieth-century psychiatry, showing that identifying depression is far more difficult than a simple diagnostic distinction between normal and pathological sadness - the one constant in the history of depression is its changing definition. Drawing on the accumulated knowledge of a lifetime devoted to the study of the individual in modern democratic society, Ehrenberg shows that the phenomenon of modern depression is not a construction of the pharmaceutical industry but a pathology arising from inadequacy in a social context where success is attributed to, and expected of, the autonomous individual. In so doing, he provides both a novel and convincing description of the illness that clarifies the intertwining relationship between its diagnostic history and changes in social norms and values. The first book to offer both a global sociological view of contemporary depression and a detailed description of psychiatric reasoning and its transformation - from the invention of electroshock therapy to mass consumption of Prozac - The Weariness of the Self offers a compelling exploration of depression as social fact.

Book Psychiatric Power

    Book Details:
  • Author : Michel Foucault
  • Publisher : Macmillan
  • Release : 2008-06-24
  • ISBN : 9780312203313
  • Pages : 420 pages

Download or read book Psychiatric Power written by Michel Foucault and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-06-24 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Psychiatric Power, the fourth volume in the collection of his groundbreaking lectures at the Collège de France, Michel Foucault addresses and expands upon the ideas in his seminal Madness and Civilization, sketching the genealogy of psychiatry and of its characteristic form of power/knowledge. Madness and Civilization undertook the archeology of the division according to which, in Western Society, the madman found himself separated from the sane. That book ends with the medicalization of madness at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Psychiatric Power continues this discourse up to the end of the nineteenth century, and the double "depsychiatrization" of madness, now dispersed between the neurologist and the psychoanalyst. Presented in a conversational tone, Psychiatric Power brings fresh access and light to the work of one of the past century's preeminent thinkers.

Download or read book Las almas heridas written by Boris Cyrulnik and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2015-11-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las almas heridas es un libro sobre las huellas de la infancia, la necesidad del relato y los mecanismos de la memoria, elementos desarrollados a partir de la narración de sus vivencias personales hasta su adolescencia. Boris Cyrulnik, un joven cuyas inquietudes intelectuales ya se encaminan por las lindes de la psiquiatría, y que realiza sus primeras prácticas en un asilo para enfermos mentales (donde quedará en shock tras comprobar el aislamiento y las malas prácticas a las que son sometidos los pacientes: lobotomías, camisas de fuerza, etc.). Su nueva obra Les ames blessées (Las almas heridas) no es ni una autobiografía ni un libro de historia de la psiquiatría: se trata de un testimonio personal sobre el nacimiento de una disciplina difícil y apasionante que denominamos psiquiatría.

Book Philosophy as Experimentation  Dissidence and Heterogeneity

Download or read book Philosophy as Experimentation Dissidence and Heterogeneity written by José Miranda Justo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary philosophical research interconnects classical domains of philosophy, the arts, literature and social sciences. This collection of essays explores the operational role of experimentation, dissidence and heterogeneity in this process. It offers fundaments for the criticism of monolithical tendencies often put forward under the banner of the ‘Speculative Turn’ or New Realism, by means of exploring the contribution and influence of authors such as J. G. Hamann, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Guy Debord. These philosophers, historically placed within the margins of the philosophical mainstream, were decisive in the emergence of the philosophical thought and practices of Deleuze, Wittgenstein and Bataille, as shown here. The reader will also find re-evaluations of the contributions of Vico, Spinoza or Kant to posterity, next to new readings of authors like Foucault, Hadot, Benjamin and Adorno with regards to their significant experimental and dissident positions.

Book Young Foucault

    Book Details:
  • Author : Elisabetta Basso
  • Publisher : Columbia University Press
  • Release : 2022-11-22
  • ISBN : 0231556195
  • Pages : 157 pages

Download or read book Young Foucault written by Elisabetta Basso and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1950s, long before his ascent to international renown, Michel Foucault published a scant few works. His early writings on psychology, psychopathology, and anthropology have been dismissed as immature. However, recently discovered manuscripts from the mid-1950s, when Foucault was a lecturer at the University of Lille, testify to the significance of the work that the philosopher produced in the years leading up to the “archaeological” project he launched with History of Madness. Elisabetta Basso offers a groundbreaking and in-depth analysis of Foucault’s Lille manuscripts that sheds new light on the origins of his philosophical project. She considers the epistemological style and methodology of these writings as well as their philosophical context and the scholarly networks in which Foucault was active, foregrounding his relationship to existential psychiatry. Young Foucault blurs the boundaries between biography and theory, exploring the transformations—and, at times, contradictions—that characterize the intellectual trajectory of a philosopher who, as Foucault himself put it, “turned to psychology, and from psychology to history.” Retracing the first steps of the philosopher’s intellectual journey, Basso shows how Foucault’s early writings provide key insights into his archaeological work of the 1960s. Assembling a vast array of archival sources—including manuscripts, reading notes, notes for lectures and conferences, and correspondence—this book develops a new and deeper understanding of Foucault’s body of work.
