  • Title: [The end of the asylum, a change in representations].
    Author: Gelly F.
    Journal: Soins Psychiatr; 2018; 39(314):17-21. PubMed ID: 29335125.
    Abstract:
    Through the major changes which the psychiatric hospital has undergone throughout history, the question is raised of the identity of caregivers, what the psychiatric asylum provides as a response to mental illness, and the function of the asylum as a place for receiving and then caring for patients, within society. These radical changes, which undermine the narcissism of caregivers, have consequences both within the psychiatric hospital and society as a whole. Consequences which question the very notion of care in a post-modern society.
