Joining the Saint-Alban-sur-Limagnole psychiatric hospital in Nazi-occupied France, Tosquelles invented what would become \"institutional psychotherapy\" with poets, film critics, photographers, and psychiatrists including Jean Oury, Agn?s Masson, Frantz Fanon, Tristan Tzara, and Paul ?luard. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis first anthology of Tosquelles's writings shines a light on his forgotten history, from his engagement as a psychiatrist during the Spanish Civil War alongside anti-Franquist and anti-Stalinist communists, to his progressive return to Catalonia following his role in the \"cultural revolution\" of \"institutional psychotherapy\" in France. Through translations of texts never before available in English, Tosquelles's powerful voice reminds us how important politicized relations to institutions are in our times of sick institutions, scapegoating of strangers, and globalized war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francesc Tosquelles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 163590255X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635902556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Semiotext(e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Francesc Tosquelles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46767420670207,"sku":"9781635902556","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a125676-4d29-48f8-8f60-af2bd14438ba.jpg?v=1744169762","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/healing-institutions-francesc-tosquelles-9781635902556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
