  • Alastair Morgan

摘要

In this chapter, I trace one strand of a European tradition of psychiatry that arose during the Second World War in France, namely Institutional Psychotherapy. I outline central concepts of this tradition that delineate a task for psychiatry of responding to both the political and clinical realities of madness, without providing reductionist accounts of either a biological or social kind. In conclusion, I reflect on central lessons that can be taken from this tradition when considering contemporary psychiatry.
