The Psychiatric Writings from Alienation and Freedom de Frantz Fanon

The Psychiatric Writings from Alienation and Freedom

Autor Frantz Fanon Editat de Jean Khalfa, Professor Robert J. C. Young Traducere de Steven Corcoran
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 oct 2020
Frantz Fanon's psychiatric career was crucial to his thinking as an anti-colonialist writer and activist. Much of his iconic work was shaped by his experiences working in hospitals in France, Algeria and Tunisia. The writing collected here was written from 1951 to 1960 in tandem with his political work and reveals much about how Fanon's thought developed, showing that, for him, psychiatry was part of a much wider socio-political struggle. His political, revolutionary and literary lives should not then be separated from the psychiatric practice and writings that shaped his thinking about oppression, alienation and the search for freedom.

Caracteristici

Fanon always thought of himself as a practicing psychiatrist and his writing and research reveals him to be a pioneer of ethnopsychiatry, or the idea that ethnic and cultural factors could influence mental illness, and an advocate of therapy that operated outside of the psychiatric hospital system, thus providing a model for modern mental health provision
