{"product_id":"disalienation-camille-robcis-9780226777740","title":"Disalienation: Politics, Philosophy, and Radical Psychiatry in Postwar France","description":"From 1940 to 1945, forty thousand patients died in French psychiatric hospitals. The Vichy regime's \"soft extermination\" let patients die of cold, starvation, or lack of care. But in Saint-Alban-sur-Limagnole, a small village in central France, one psychiatric hospital attempted to resist. Hoarding food with the help of the local population, the staff not only worked to keep patients alive but began to rethink the practical and theoretical bases of psychiatric care. The movement that began at Saint-Alban came to be known as institutional psychotherapy and would go on to have a profound influence on postwar French thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eDisalienation\u003c\/i\u003e, Camille Robcis grapples with the historical, intellectual, and psychiatric meaning of the ethics articulated at Saint-Alban by exploring the movement's key thinkers, including Fran輟is Tosquelles, Frantz Fanon, F駘ix Guattari, and Michel Foucault. Anchored in the history of one hospital, Robcis's study draws on a wide geographic context--revolutionary Spain, occupied France, colonial Algeria, and beyond--and charts the movement's place within a broad political-economic landscape, from fascism to Stalinism to postwar capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Camille Robcis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022677774X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226777740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Camille Robcis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995934392575,"sku":"9780226777740","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b61cb890-f0c4-4ae8-9fe4-93adcf831203.jpg?v=1683338725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disalienation-camille-robcis-9780226777740","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
