In the 1960s and 1970s a popular diagnosis for Americas problems was that society was becoming a madhouse In this intellectual and cultural history Michael E Staub examines a time when many believed insanity was a sane reaction to obscene social conditions psychiatrists were agents of repression asylums were gulags for societys undesirables and mental illness was a concept with no medical basisMadness Is Civilization explores the general consensus that societal illsfrom dysfunctional marriage and family dynamics to the Vietnam War racism and sexismwere at the root of mental illness Staub chronicles the surge in influence of socially attuned psychodynamic theories along with the rise of radical therapy and psychiatric survivors movements He shows how the theories of antipsychiatry held unprecedented sway over an enormous range of medical social and political debates until a bruising backlash against these theoriespart of the reaction to the perceived excesses and selfabsorptions of the 1960seffectively distorted them into caricatures Throughout Staub reveals that at stake in these debates of psychiatry and politics was nothing less than how to think about the institution of the family the nature of the self and the prospects for and limits of social change nbspThe first study to describe how social diagnostic thinking emerged Madness Is Civilization casts new light on the politics of the postwar era

When it was first published in France in 1961 as Folie et Déraison Histoire de la Folie à lâge Classique few had heard of a thirtyfour year old philosopher by the name of Michel Foucault By the time an abridged English edition was published in 1967 as Madness and Civilization Michel Foucault had shaken the intellectual world This translation is the first English edition of the complete French texts of the first and second edition including all prefaces and appendices some of them unavailable in the existing French edition History of Madness begins in the Middle Ages with vivid descriptions of the exclusion and confinement of lepers Why Foucault asks when the leper houses were emptied at the end of the Middle Ages were they turned into places of confinement for the mad Why within the space of several months in 1656 was one out of every hundred people in Paris confined Shifting brilliantly from Descartes and early Enlightenment thought to the founding of the Hôpital Général in Paris and the work of early psychiatrists Philippe Pinel and Samuel Tuke Foucault focuses throughout not only on scientific and medical analyses of madness but also on the philosophical and cultural values attached to the mad He also urges us to recognize the creative and liberating forces that madness represents brilliantly drawing on examples from Goya Nietzsche Van Gogh and Artaud The History of Madness is an inspiring and classic work that challenges us to understand madness reason and power and the forces that shape them
