Contemporain de l’Histoire de la folie à l’âge classique de Michel Foucault, The Discovery of the Unconscious. The History and Evolution of Dynamic Psychiatry d’Henri Ellenberger est certainement l’un des livres les plus marquants en histoire de la psychiatrie, un champ de recherche qui a connu un développement formidable dans le monde académique ces dernières décennies. Mais comment s’insère-t-il dans l’histoire des sciences sociales? Cet essai sur l’histoire comparée promue par Ellenberger présente plusieurs facettes de ses travaux, en relation avec des médecins et intellectuels significatifs comme Karl Menninger, Georges Devereux, Henri Ey, Georges Canguilhem, Arthur J. Rosenthal et George Mora. Pour la première fois, une analyse fondée sur des documents d’archives introduit Henri Ellenberger comme un élève de l’ethnographe Arnold Van Gennep et un lecteur assidu d’autres comparatistes, démarche qui l’amènera à s’imposer en histoire culturelle.

This article traces the career, scientific achievements, and emigration of the Berlin-born physician, psychoanalyst, and psychosomatic researcher Eric Wittkower. Trained in Berlin and practicing internal medicine, he became persecuted by the Nazi regime and, after fleeing Germany via Switzerland, continued his professional career in the United Kingdom, where he turned to psychosomatic medicine and worked in the service of the British Army during World War II. After two decades of service in the UK, Wittkower joined McGill University in Canada. His increasingly interdisciplinary work contributed to the establishment of the new research field of transcultural psychiatry. Finally the paper provides a detailed history of the beginning of the section of transcultural psychiatry at the Allan Memorial Institute.

Epidemiology of mental disorders emerged in the post-1945 era at the intersections of different areas of knowledge. Given its ambitions, the Stirling County Study provides an instructive case study. It is also a good example of how the epidemiology applied methodological skills from social sciences. This paper aims, first, to reconstruct one of the first episodes in the development of psychiatric epidemiology. Its second purpose is to provide a detailed description of interdisciplinarity at work, and to examine its effects. After explaining some of the major features of the Stirling County Study, I emphasize the links between some of the first results, particularly regarding young people as a population at risk, and the job market after the Great Depression.

The Classic Text is an outline of the Stirling County Study as conceptualized by Alexander H Leighton. It was first presented at a conference held in 1949 organized by the Milbank Memorial Fund, an American philanthropic foundation. The meeting brought together 30–40 experts from across North America. Leighton succinctly explained his frame of reference for the epidemiology of mental disorders and the methodology of the community-based study he conducted in Nova Scotia. The introduction to the text explains contextual points, certain specificities of Leighton’s framework, and the discussions that surrounded it, largely dominated by a group of Harvard professors, including Erich Lindemann and John E Gordon.

This chapter examines the history of human experimentation in psychiatry, with a concentration on developments in the twentieth century. It explores bodily therapies that developed out of a desire to harness biological evidence to support physical interventions that might provide relief from mental symptoms. Some of these experiments helped to set the stage for another phase of experimentation characterized by drug trials, which introduced new methodological terminology and concepts. Double-blind trials, randomization, controlled trial methodology, and the interrogation of placebo effects changed the way that psychiatric experimentation unfolded in the second half of the twentieth century. This chapter shows that the new language of clinical trials created new moments of scientific optimism, and also generated unprecedented commercial opportunities. Despite the differences between clinical drug trials and physical interventions of the somatic era, the history of psychiatry reveals a legacy of experimentation aimed at diagnosing, classifying, and treating mental disorders. Although approaches, theories, and methods have changed, experimentation has remained a central part of the field. By considering how historians and scholars have interpreted this past, one can chart a longer relationship between experimentation and therapy that has characterized different moments of psychiatric history as well as galvanized responses against psychiatry for wielding undue power over people with mental illness.

This contribution sheds light on the role of the physician and psychoanalyst Heinrich Meng in the networks of the Institute for Social Research, and in particular on his approach to mental hygiene. As deputy director of the Frankfurt Psychoanalytic Institute, working alongside Karl Landauer, Meng was the leader of a program of social reform and prevention called Psychohygiene; the term refers to a conception of mental health based on psychoanalysis. This frame of reference illuminates why and how Meng tended to be a source of proposals for prophylax is rather than of theory, in unison with educators and associations involved in prevention in the field of mental health. Although Meng was the editor of many books on psychoanalysis applied to social institutions, he remained on the fringe of critical theory, outside both the social sciences and the inner circles of the Institute’s members in exile.

The Discovery of the Unconscious (publié aux États-Unis en 1970) d’Henri Ellenberger est l’un des essais fondateurs de l’histoire culturelle de la psychanalyse, de la psychiatrie, des pratiques psychothérapeutiques et des doctrines psychologiques. Or Ellenberger est, on le sait peu, un médecin formé en France qui a fait une carrière universitaire en sciences sociales au Canada. Sa première passion dans les années 1930 va pour les méthodes de l’anthropologie sociale, bien avant de se tourner vers l’histoire, au seuil des années 1950. Pour la première fois, une analyse fondée sur des documents d’archives et les publications d’Ellenberger sur la piété populaire dans le Poitou le présente comme un collaborateur de l’ethnographe Arnold van Gennep, une rencontre qui a fortement déterminé sa manière de concevoir l’histoire culturelle. Ma contribution s’attache aux correspondances qui existent entre les travaux d’Ellenberger relatifs aux croyances et aux pratiques de médecine populaire, et les études culturelles qui irriguent The Discovery of the Unconscious.

This contribution aims to explore the development of psychiatric epidemiology, an emerging academic field during the post-war period, in the context of ecological and environmental studies. The sources used here document the works of H.B.M. Murphy (1915-1987), a Scottish physician recruited by McGill University in 1959 to teach and undertake epidemiologic research in the newly-formed transcultural psychiatry unit led by Eric Wittkower. Murphy’s break with traditional analysis of hospital statistics in order to focus on a small number of communities would lead him to confront the question of minorities and Franco-Canadian identity when interpreting his results.

Alternative therapies are sometimes associated with non-biological approaches, or practices that do not undergo rigorous testing or produce consistently repeatable results. In the 1970s, some alternative therapies also openly embraced spiritual dimensions that directly conflicted with a Western bio-medical paradigm, placing them within a category of new age medicine, suggesting that such therapies were both eclectic and outside the boundaries of orthodox clinical care. The timing and location of these therapies reveals a particular context that gave rise to treatments seeking non-orthodox approaches, and arguably for a set of conditions that also emerged out of a Cold War context of affluence, dissatisfaction, and cultural anxiety. Some of these alternative therapies overlapped, with founders and consumers borrowing principles from different therapies to produce an approach that itself might be considered alternative to orthodox or mainstream western bio-medical practice. Situated predominantly on the American west coast, in California, these alternative therapies are illustrative of a regional culture of therapy. One, in particular, that embraced elements of radicalism alongside a collision of individualistic and collective approaches to care and responsibility. This article examines four such therapies: psychedelics, primal scream, nude therapy, and sociodrama. It is argued that beyond the inherent differences among them and their common flirtations with orthodox biomedicine, these four sets of practices are also historically significant for what they reveal about the place of psychology as a discipline after the Second World War. With each of these therapies, their history reveals a tension with psychoanalysis that attempts to redefine the relationship between the therapist and the patient. Although none of these therapies endured in their original form into the 21st century, revisiting this history offers insight into the changing state of psychotherapy in the latter half of the 20th century, and a focus on alternative therapies helps to elucidate some of the professional and cultural tensions that fuelled subsequent changes in the therapeutic landscape.

Eric Wittkower founded McGill University’s transcultural psychiatry unit in 1955. One year later, he started the first international newsletter in this academic field, which became (and remains) the main journal today: Transcultural Psychiatry. However, at the beginning of his career Wittkower gave no signs that he would be interested in social sciences and psychiatry; he originally trained as a specialist in internal medicine in Berlin. This paper describes the historical context of the post-war period, when Wittkower founded a research unit at McGill University with an American anthropologist, Jacob Fried. Using archival material from McGill, I focus on the history of scientific networks and the circulation of knowledge, particularly on the exchanges between the French- and English-speaking academic cultures in North America and Europe. Because the history of transcultural psychiatry is a transnational history par excellence, but also a literature of exile, this leads necessarily to the important question of the reception of this academic field abroad.

The origin of the first conference on Zwangsvorstellungen – i. e., idées contraintes in French, or obsessions – at the Medical-psychological society of Berlin in 1868 is often attri- buted to Wilhelm Griesinger, professor of psychiatry at the Charité. Although Griesinger’s words had a great posthumous impact on the field, it is important to remember that their interpretation was left to his contemporaries, and then to posterity, Griesinger’s death soon after the conference preventing him from qualifying his intentions – thus offering to the historian the possibility of analysing the effects of the reception of a founding text of acade- mic psychiatry at the end of the 19th century. After a short summary of Griesinger’s life, the author presents the emergence of a new terminology in Germany, linked to the rise of urban polyclinics, before establishing an analytical frame for the lexical field used by Griesinger to conceptualize stifled ideas outside of the realm of the asylum, incorporating some aspects of the francophone history of psychiatry. The discussion that ensues is concerned with the stories of patients as told by Griesinger and the way in which they can be characterized, carefully avoiding any anachronisms and differentiating from the psychology of neurosis as later developed by Pierre Janet and Sigmund Freud.

En 1955 le psychiatre Henri Ey (1900-1977) publie sous sa
direction un Traité de Psychiatrie dans la collection de
l'Encyclopédie Médico-Chirurgicale (EMC, Editions
Techniques), rassemblant autour de lui plus d'une centaine de
collaborateurs. Parmi eux, une grande partie des
psychanalystes français, avec qui les psychiatres du cadre des
hôpitaux psychiatriques publics se répartissent les matières à
exposer, tandis que les principaux représentants de la
neuropsychiatrie universitaire sont exclus. Lors d'un banquet
offert pour fêter la parution de l'ouvrage collectif, Henri Ey
fait la lecture à ses hôtes d'une parodie (ou pastiche, voire
satire ?) de Bouvard et Pécuchet de FLAUBERT. Je propose
d'appréhender ce document méconnu des historiens par le
biais de l'ironie : écrit sur le ton de la dérision par un
psychiatre évoquant les pratiques et les doctrines qui prêtent le
flan à la moquerie dans sa discipline (du mesmérisme au
freudisme), le texte peut aussi se lire comme un roman à clef
des rapports de force et des défenses de monopole, dans une
profession médicale où les dissensions sont nourries par des
titres professionnels, par des itinéraires intellectuels et par des
réseaux savants différents. Dans un premier temps, je
montrerai qu'à travers l'emprunt des « deux bonshommes »,
Henri Ey avait certainement pour but de désamorcer toute
critique vis-à-vis de son ambition d'encyclopédiste. On peut
comparer à cette occasion la posture d'Henri Ey à celle de
l'écrivain Raymond Queneau (1903-1976), directeur de l'Encyclopédie de la Pléiade à la même époque : lui aussi fut
hanté par les figures du savant fou et du scientifique amateur
et il rédigea deux préfaces pour des rééditions de Bouvard et
Pécuchet. Cependant, le Bouvard et Pécuchet d'Henri EY évoque
moins l'exercice de style de Queneau que la pugnacité des
textes corporatistes de défense de la psychiatrie. Dans un
second temps, il s'agira donc d'analyser le statut de l'imitation
burlesque d'une œuvre déjà burlesque : ce texte cache une
véritable satire sous le travestissement du comique. L'auteur
vise une série de personnes bien réelles, parfois nommées
dans le texte et présentées de manière grotesque. La parodie
apparaît ici comme mise au service du persiflage.

Based on the letters exchanged by philosopher Georges Canguilhem and historian Henri Ellenberger, this paper looks back on the controversial topic of the "forerunner" in the history of science and more particularly in the history of psychiatry (see Ellenberger’s conference in Yale : "Psychiatry and its History : Methodological Problems in Research", 1967). On the one hand, we recall Canguilhem’s unfolding attitudes to the question of forerunners and continuators in the history of science – a stance one should not confuse with the more radical position of Alexandre Koyré. On the other hand, our study draws on the systematic exploration of the use of the word "forerunner" in the main works of Canguilhem and Ellenberger. In fact, although Canguilhem reduces the possibilities of the existence of real forerunners in the history of science, we highlight the fact that he continues to grant legitimacy to this notion in the history of techniques. Lastly, contradicting common misconception, we bring evidence that Ellenberger, in a reflective stance, restricts the notion to the description of collective processes of knowledge accumulation. Even more importantly, he describes it as a "retrospective" construct as part of a framework of research on the phenomena of transmission of knowledge and filiation between scholars.

After beginning his historical work in Switzerland in the 1950s and then continuing it in the United States at the Menninger Foundation, Henri Ellenberger (1905–1993) became the leading historian of " dynamic psychiatry ". This expression commonly denotes mental medicine that draws from psychotherapeutic practices and psychological theories to improve our understanding of mental diseases and to cure them. Although still used today, usually in juxtaposition to 19th century alienism or to biological psychiatry, the origin and meaning of this expression are unclear. An unpublished lecture (1956) by Ellenberger on this subject, accompanied by an explanatory introduction, is reproduced here to shed light on Ellenberger's interpretation of that term. This article additionally aims to draw certain parallels and distinctions between Ellenberger, Michel Foucault and George Devereux's teaching in the 1950s. Considering that the history of psychiatry is now a well-established speciality in the academic world, Ellenberger's lecture is also an original document which enables us to trace the professionalization of psychiatric historiography as an academic discipline back to its beginnings after World War II.

Objectives. – This analysis focuses on the representations of the early signs of madness during adolescence and the diagnosis of early onset psychosis. It starts with a brief historical overview of the place of adolescence in 19th and 20th century psychiatry in France and Germany, to show how representations of adolescence have changed.
Method. – The method followed here combines archival analysis, and quantitative and qualitative methods with an epistemological analysis of normativity in a comparative perspective. Crossing French and German (histoire croisée) history enables a reappraisal of the object of research through the prism of the historical sources available in another language.
Results. – The hypothesis of a causal relation between the first signs of a mental disorder and puberty is one of the recurrent questions in contemporary psychiatry. It was conceptualized as such by way of the notion of hebephrenia, which was used for a long time to describe teenage madness, before being reassessed as an early sign of schizophrenia.
Discussion. – The discussion focuses on the medical appropriation of the representations of adolescence. This is put in the perspective of the emergence of the new objective of early detection and intervention appearing in the 1970s and 1980s, while the post-war era only focused on the notion of a teenage originality crisis and early expression.
Conclusion. – Having highlighted the role of questionnaires in the early diagnosis of mental disorders, the author argues in favor of the integration of the history of epidemiological psychiatry into that of psychiatry and psychology, given that questionnaires are used to measure the prevalence of early disorders.

The French psychiatric hospital Henri Ey in Bonneval (Eure-et-Loir, Central France) is known in the history of psychiatry for a series of conferences, which brought together several key figures in the mental health field in the 1940s. The conference sessions have been published in two major volumes: Le Probleme de la psychogenese des névroses et des psychoses (The Problem of the Psychogenesis of Neuroses and Psychoses, 1950), and L’Inconscient (The Unconscious, 1966). The proceedings consist of theoretical essays and minutes of the intellectual discussions between French psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists, psychoanalysts and philosophers. We will analyze this network through an investigation into the archives of the journal "L'Évolution psychiatrique" (The Evolution of Psychiatry) in order to reconstruct the history of the intellectual life of French psychiatrists in postwar society, in the course of successive reforms in medical education (Debre and Faure Reforms, 1958-1968).

Henri Ellenberger (1905–1993) wrote the first French-language synthesis of transcul-tural psychiatry ("Ethno-psychiatrie") for the French Encyclopédie Médico-Chirurgicale in 1965. His work casts new light on the early development of transcultural psychiatry in relation to scientific communities and networks, particularly on the role of Georges Devereux (1908–1985). The Ellenberger archives offer the possibility of comparing published texts with archival ones to create a more nuanced account of the history of transcultural psychiatry, and notably of the psychological treatment of Native Americans. This paper examines some key moments in the intellectual trajectories of Devereux and Ellenberger, including Devereux's dispute with Ackerknecht, the careers of Devereux and Ellenberger as therapists at the Menninger Foundation (Topeka, Kansas) in the 1950s, and their respective positions in the research network developed by McGill University (Montreal, Quebec) with the newsletter Transcultural Research in Mental Health Problems. Finally, I consider their ties to other important figures in this field as it transitioned from colonial medicine to academic medicine, including Roger Bastide (France), Henri Collomb and the Ortigues (France and Africa), as well as Eric Wittkower and Brian Murphy (Canada) and Alexander Leighton (United States and Canada).

The category of an Early Psychosis refers to a common medical classification. It is an essential part of the knowledge constituting mental health even as it represents a normative category subsuming a set of peculiarities in human behaviour, speech, emotional expression, and mental states that together can be described as a mental disorder. Numerous publications since the 1990s have rendered the ‘‘Early Psychosis’’ into a focus of standardised research, prevention and therapy procedures, while earlier medical practices remained unknown. Relying mainly on the archives of the Hospital of Bonneval, France, we draw comparisons with other French and German hospitals through the use of clinical records with a focus on the period 1950–1980. We then analyze the linkages between certificates, first clinical interviews, anamnesis, emergence of a diagnosis, treatment indications, prognosis, and the like, which together constitute a complex of diachronic measurements that offer potential insights upon the nature of medical knowledge and practice. Our interest is less the evaluation of consequences of specific doctrines than the investigation of the clinical parameters and conceptual dichotomies upon which practitioners relied. We conclude that the clinic is established not just out of objective signs, but that subjective symptoms are also part of psychiatric health practices, which in turn become a normative category that included a grey area between atypical behaviour and a selective diagnosis in, for example, the case of schizophrenia.

Résumé : Quel processus de décision politique a présidé à la réforme de l’enseignement de la psychiatrie et à l’introduction de la psychanalyse dans les universités françaises ? Dans la société d’après-guerre, le statut des médecins psychiatres a changé au terme de la crise politique de « Mai 68 ». Le Ministre de l’Enseignement Supérieur, Edgar Faure (1908–1988), est crédité d’avoir lancé la réforme (« Loi Faure », 1968) qui a fait de la psychiatrie une spécialité médicale à part entière, indépendante de la neurologie, et d’avoir promu la place de la psychanalyse dans les sciences humaines et sociales, en permettant la création d’un premier Département de Psychanalyse à l’Université expérimentale de Vincennes (1971). Mais la modification du statut de psychiatre est aussi l’aboutissement de nombreuses années de revendication, elle suit des mesures préconisées par le Livre Blanc de la psychiatrie française (1965–1968), publié sous la direction d’Henri Ey (1900–1977). Partant, il est tentant de reconstruire le processus de décision politique en reprenant la thèse d’une minorité active, à la fois conseiller du prince et capable de canaliser le mécontentement de groupes minoritaires, comme cela a été fait auparavant par le sociologue Haroun Jamous pour la réforme des études médicales (« Loi Debré », 1958). Mais qui sont ces acteurs ? Peut-on identifier un réseau dans l’entourage du Ministre ? Sans trancher entre plusieurs types d’interprétation des faits, l’auteur insiste sur les cercles de sociabilité intellectuelle impliqués dans la réforme.

Der deutsche Ausdruck ‘Psychose’ (Carl Friedrich Canstatt, 1841) ist der wissenschaftliche Begriff, der sich zur Bezeichnung von bestimmten Geisteskrankheiten durchgesetzt hat. Als Ausgangsperspektive für die Untersuchung dient dabei die Geschichte der wissenschaftlichen Soziabilitäten. Der Zeitraum (1947-1977) wurde entsprechend der Tätigkeit des französischen Psychiaters Henri Ey im Rahmen der Gruppe „l’Evolution Psychiatrique“ (die Psychiatrische Entwicklung) abgesteckt. Ich untersuche in meiner Arbeit die Implikationen und Folgen einer Denktradition, welche die Geistkrankheiten seit dem „Traité de psychiatrie“ (Psychiatrische Abhandlung) der sogenannten EMC, „Encyclopédie Médico-Chirurgicale“, (Ärztlich-Chirurgische Enzyklopädie), die Henri Ey bis zu seinem Tode herausgegeben hat, in der psychiatrischen Klassifizierung in zwei Hauptkategorien vereinigt: die „Psychoses aiguës“ (akute Psychosen) und die „psychoses chroniques“ (chronische Psychosen). Die Arbeit schildert die Entstehungsgeschichte des Begriffs „Psychose“ und analysiert die Renaissance der „Evolution Psychiatrique“ bis zur Veröffentlichung des gemeinsamen Werkes in 1955. Als roter Faden dient dabei die von dem englischen Neurologen John Hughlings Jackson inspirierte „organisch-dynamische“ Auffassung Henri Eys, die Verbindungen zwischen den Herausforderungen des Psychosenkonzepts, den Werken des Mitarbeiters des EMC (1956-1977) und, auf längere Sicht, der Geschichte der Geisteskrankheiten herstellt. Vier Hauptthemen stehen im Vordergrund meiner Lektüre: das akute oder chronische Delirium, die deutsche Auffassung der endogenen Psychose, die neojacksonische Aufassung der Epilepsie und die psychiatrische Auffassung der Schizophränie. Schließlich untersuche ich in einem Epilog die aktualisierten Texte des EMC (1956-1977), in denen eine Spannung spürbar wird zwischen einer Klassifizierung, die sich an das Psychosenkonzept anlehnt, sowie einer Reihe von Innovationen im ärztlichen, intellektuellen und kulturellen Bereich, bis hin zu expliziten Infragestellungen (Antipsychiatrie). Im Anschluss an den Untersuchungszeitraum frage ich nach der Bedeutung der zahlreichen Kategorien von Geisteskrankheiten, die in der Vergangenheit unter dem Begriff Psychose zusammengefasst wurden. Einige Orientierungen von Henri Eys Mitarbeitern, wie diejenige von Henri Ellenberger und Georges Lantéri-Laura im Hinblick auf die Geschichte und ihre Methode, brechen mit dem Projekt der allgemeinen Psychopathologie ab.

Ce colloque conjoint du Centre Marc Bloch Berlin et du Centre canadien d’études allemandes et européennes porte sur les « migrations scientifiques » au XXe et XXIe siècle dans une perspective interdisciplinaire en sciences humaines et sociales.
L’exil des savants allemands et européens, en particulier les Juifs et les opposants au régime national-socialiste à partir de 1933, a constitué un élément crucial des relations scientifiques entre l’Allemagne, les États-Unis et le Canada au XXe siècle. S’il reste nécessaire de prolonger l’analyse de cette problématique historique particulièrement importante jusqu’à aujourd’hui, l’Amérique n’a toutefois pas été le seul continent d’accueil des réfugiés dont certains ont trouvé un asile au Moyen-Orient. Au XXIe siècle les mouvements de migration semblent s’inverser et font des flux transméditerranéens une composante majeure de ces déplacements décisifs.
Quelles sont les modalités des mobilités et des sédentarités en jeu ? Doit-on distinguer des catégories dans l’exil, les transferts culturels et l’immigration, et peut-on établir des comparaisons ? Est-ce que les scientifiques, médecins, intellectuels, écrivains ou encore les artistes ont accès aux mêmes ressources dans l’expérience de l’exil ?
Des chercheurs des deux centres se rencontreront pour débattre de leurs travaux dans un large échange interdisciplinaire (histoire, sociologie, anthropologie, sciences politiques, philosophie, études littéraires, histoire de l’art). Des cadres historiques de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de la Guerre Froide et de la décolonisation après 1945, jusqu’aux « Printemps arabes » et aux effets de la guerre en Ukraine aujourd’hui, ils contribueront, depuis Berlin et Montréal, à affiner les modes de déchiffrement des phénomènes de migrations scientifiques.

This workshop endeavours to comparatively evaluate the ideas and practices of some of the major contributors to the formation of the international discipline of transcultural psychiatry in the mid-twentieth century, a time that saw the transition from the colonial to post-colonial periods in many parts of the world, which had a direct effect on how mental illnesses were conceived of by psychiatrists sensitive to cultural differences. All of these psychiatrists had something different to offer the field. Emil Kraepelin, one of the major figures in late nineteenth century psychiatry, made a number of research trips abroad, leading to his development of the concept of “vergleichende Psychiatrie” (comparative psychiatry), which fitted many ‘exotic’ mental afflictions into his general psychopathological framework, and with the specific aim of considering the impact of syphilis and alcohol on mental health, particularly it’s role in general paralysis. Eric Wittkower was responsible for founding the most significant journal in this field, Transcultural Psychiatry, which operated as a means of drawing together all of the published comparative psychiatry that was emerging in this period, as well as co-founding the first program dedicated to the subject at McGill University (between the anthropology and psychiatry departments). He was at the centre of a network that has dominated the field to this day. PM Yap, a Chinese physician trained in the UK at Cambridge University and the Maudsley Institute of Psychiatry, London, worked mainly in Hong Kong, where he developed the concept of “culture-bound syndromes”, one of the key intellectual achievements of the discipline in the mid-twentieth century. Georges Devereux was one of the theorists to span anthropology, psychoanalysis and psychiatry in his original work on Native Americans, and made many important contributions to the field of comparative ethnopsychiatry. French psychiatrist Henri Collomb drew together researchers from anthropology, sociology and psychology at the University of Dakar (Senegal) to produce a new form of transcultural psychiatry that was sensitive to the effects of colonization and decolonization, much of which was published in the new journal Psychopathologie africaine, founded in 1965. Marianna Scarfone’s paper considers the contributions of Italian ethnopsychiatrists working in Africa (such as Angelo Bravi and Mario Felici) and their impact on Italian psychiatry. All of these psychiatrists made very significant contributions to the ways that that psychiatry addresses non-western cultures, although rarely is there an opportunity to comparatively assess their work and its impact on the field of transcultural psychiatry. This panel offers one such comparison, and is framed by Cornelius Borck’s reflection on the state of transcultural psychiatry in relation to the broader field of psychopathology, with its increasing biomedical interests. Anthropologist Anne Lovell will draw together these threads in her summing up of the workshop, followed by an open general discussion.

125 Jahre Psychiatrische Klinik Breitenau, 1891 - 2016
Zum Inhalt: Noch vor dem Kantonsspital wurde 1891 die «Kantonale Irrenanstalt» eröffnet, eine Herausforderung für den 38000 Einwohner zählenden Kanton. Das zähe Ringen zwischen Wünsch- und Machbarem zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Geschichte der Klinik, die seit 2006 Teil der Spitäler Schaffhausen ist. Politik und Bevölkerung stellten sich jedoch auch in finanziell angespannten Zeiten hinter die Klinik, und neue Erkenntnisse wurden auch in Schaffhausen reflektiert und umgesetzt. Zehn Autorinnen und Autoren beleuchten die Breitenau aus lokalpolitischer und baugeschichtlicher Sicht, befassen sich mit Therapieansätzen und dem Umgang mit Zwangsmitteln, mit Pflegeausbildung und Patientenkunst. Gewürdigt wird das Wirken einzelner (Chef-)Ärzte, unter ihnen Hans Bertschinger, der als früher Psychoana- lytiker der Zürcher Schule um Eugen Bleuler und C. G. Jung verbunden war, und der Psychiatriehistoriker Henri Ellenberger, der in der Breitenau als Sekundärarzt wirkte.

Messieurs ! Si j’ai seulement annoncé que j’aimerais parler d’un état psychopathique peu connu, ce n’était pas pour attirer votre attention par le moyen d’une allusion à quelque chose de toute façon inconnue, mais parce que je ne suis pas encore au clair avec moi-même sur la désignation qui est à donner à cet état. Ainsi, je voudrais prier ces honorables messieurs eux-mêmes de m’aider dans cette entreprise, et je proposerai cependant au cours de ma communication une désignation.
Il s’agit d’un état d’âme pathologique, que je n’ai jamais observé en asile jusqu’ici, mais seulement chez les malades qui vivent encore librement, et à la longue j’apprends toujours plus à apprécier, pour la psychiatrie, les sources d’observation qui nous sont apportées par les malades que nous n’observons pas dans les pavillons asilaires, mais dans la vie ordinaire. Il est vrai que chez ces patients de la pratique ordinaire nous pouvons faire des observations moins conséquentes, et non pas à loisir comme dans les hôpitaux, de façon répétée tous les jours et à toute heure, et il arrive que certains de ces malades nous échappent justement quand ils ont commencé à devenir les plus intéressants pour nous. Mais d’un autre côté nous avons un gros avantage avec eux, ils viennent d’eux-mêmes à nous pour chercher de l’aide et se livrent spontanément en tant que personnes cultivées – ce qui est bien sûr de la plus grande valeur en matière de choses psychologiques –, souvent avec force détails, pour nous donner un véritable tableau de leur souffrance psychique, dont ils souhaiteraient être guéris. Mais nous avons souvent avec ces malades encore un autre gros avantage, c’est d’obtenir pour notre observation des états plus légers de troubles psychiques, ou même aussi éventuellement des troubles profonds, mais qui leur laissent néanmoins une liberté de mouvement dans le monde. De toutes manières, rapportée à la psychiatrie actuelle, qui est fondée presque exclusivement sur l’observation des fous dans les asiles, où le malade se trouve autant que son état l’exige, mais toujours dans un milieu artificiel, la tâche de la science en progrès sera d’étudier aussi le malade en liberté, non modifié par cette influence, une tâche à laquelle on ne pourrait mieux s’attaquer nulle part ailleurs qu’à Gheel. Surtout en ce qui concerne les états fondamentaux les plus simples, qui seulement dans les cas légers apparaissent aussi souvent dans leur pureté, on peut espérer de cette observation des perspectives plus approfondies sur la vie psychique.

Présentation au Centre interuniversitaire de recherche sur la science et la technologie (CIRST, UQAM).
L’épidémiologie psychiatrique s’est imposée comme une discipline scientifique dans la société d’après 1945. À la frontière entre différents types de savoirs, elle est progressivement devenue une spécialisation grâce à des collaborations fructueuses dans différents champs. Afin de comprendre son histoire, la Stirling County Study est un cas d’étude intéressant d’enquête longitudinale, à la fois ambitieuse et interdisciplinaire. C’est aussi un bon exemple de la façon dont l’épidémiologie des troubles mentaux s’est appropriée des méthodes très variées, notamment en sciences sociales.
Ma présentation reconstitue, d’une part, un des premiers épisodes du développement de l’épidémiologie psychiatrique; d’autre part, elle donne une description fiable de l’interdisciplinarité à l’œuvre dans un cas d’étude précis, en s’interrogeant sur ses effets. Elle propose enfin d’ouvrir la discussion sur la question de la réification de ce type d’enquête dans le temps, à intervalle régulier, mais aussi sur l’adaptation d’un cadre d’analyse unique à d’autres lieux d’observation, dans l’objectif d’utiliser en recherche la comparaison de données quantitatives obtenues dans différents contextes socio-culturels.

Primo Levi artiste plasticien ? Nous connaissons Primo Levi comme l’auteur de Si c’est un homme (1947), un livre rédigé immédiatement après son retour d’Auschwitz pour témoigner des camps de la mort et de l’assassinat des Juifs d’Europe par les nazis. Né en 1919 à Turin, Primo Levi a exercé la profession de chimiste dans sa ville natale après la guerre. Ce n’est qu’à partir de la deuxième édition du livre en 1958 qu’il est devenu célèbre et qu’il s’est imposé comme un écrivain de premier plan avec des romans, des nouvelles et des essais. Sa créativité est impressionnante, d’autant plus qu’il est également l’auteur de courts récits de science-fiction (Histoires naturelles, 1966), écrits sous pseudonyme. C’est dans cette perspective que le musée d’art contemporain de Turin (Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna, GAM) nous a fait découvrir cet hiver un large choix de sculptures de Primo Levi, rassemblées et présentées pour la première fois au public à l’occasion du centenaire de sa naissance.

Le séminaire porte sur le témoignage d’un point de vue méthodologique en histoire contemporaine. L’objectif est d’étudier des textes critiques sur le statut du témoignage, pour donner un aperçu des réflexions et problématiques qu’il a suscité chez les historiens. Plusieurs thèmes seront successivement abordés: la rumeur (Marc Bloch), la mémoire collective (Maurice Halbwachs), le réalisme comme genre narratif, la culture mémorielle (Aleida und Jan Assmann) ou encore la visée héroïsante du témoignage. On interrogera différents types de représentations, de discours et de documents, qu’il s’agisse de témoignages imprimés ou de littérature grise, de retranscription d’interview ou de récit qui assument les codes de la fiction. Des catégories d’analyse comme les lieux communs littéraires, les émotions, les situations extrêmes et l’événement seront abordées en rapport avec l’interprétation des témoignages. On s’appuiera aussi sur des publications récentes, afin de faire connaître les derniers travaux critiques, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire (littérature testimoniale comme genre littéraire, documentaire, analyse d’images, intertextualité, etc.). Les séances seront organisées autour de l’exposé d’un article ou d’un chapitre de livre discuté en groupe. Elles ont aussi pour objectif d’acquérir des bases de vocabulaire technique et des connaissances historiographiques en français.
Das Seminar untersucht Zeitzeugenberichte mit den Methoden der Zeitgeschichte. Ziel ist es, durch die Arbeit mit kritischen Texten zum Stand der Zeitzeugenberichte einen Überblick über Fragestellungen der Historiker zu gewinnen. In diesem Sinne werden mehrere Themen diskutiert: das Gerücht (Marc Bloch), das kollektive Gedächtnis (Maurice Halbwachs), der Realismus als narrative Form, Erinnerungskultur (Aleida und Jan Assmann) sowie die Heroisierung des Narrativs. Verschiedene Darstellungsweisen, Diskurse und Dokumente werden befragt, anhand gedruckter Zeitzeugenberichte oder grauer Literatur, Transkriptionen von Interviews, etc. Differenzierende Analysekategorien wie die Topoi Emotionen, extreme Situationen oder das Ereignis werden im Zusammenhang der Auswertung von Zeitzeugenberichten diskutiert. Wir werden auch neueste Publikationen berücksichtigen, um die jüngsten kritischen Arbeiten in den Geschichtswissenschaften in interdisziplinärer Perspektive (Zeugnisliteratur als literarische Gattung, Dokumentarfilm, Bildanalyse, Intertextualität, usw.) kennenzulernen. In jeder Sitzung wird ein Artikel oder ein Buchkapitel in der Gruppe diskutiert. Dies soll auch helfen, die Grundlagen des Fachvokabulars und historiographische Kenntnisse in französischer Sprache zu vermitteln.

Ziel dieses Kurses ist die Untersuchung von klassischen Texten der vergleichenden Geschichte sowie verwandter Themen wie der transnationalen Geschichte. Beispielsweise weist die Annales-Schule von Marc Bloch und Lucien Febvre (6. Internationaler Historikerkongress in Oslo, 1928) andere Vergleichsmethoden auf als der Ansatz der Verflechtungsgeschichte von Michael Werner und Bénédicte Zimmermann (2004). Im Seminar werden nicht nur die Texte diskutiert, sondern in ihren sozialen und politischen Kontext gestellt. Wir fragen, welchen Beitrag die Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften zur Wiederaufnahme dieser Themen geleistet haben. So gibt es interessante Zusammenhänge zwischen der Diskussion der Theorien vergleichender Geschichte, aber auch des Kulturtransfers (Michael Espagne) und der Entwicklung einer neuen deutsch-französischen Geschichte (siehe z.B. die 11 Bände der Histoire franco-allemande beim Verlag Septentrion) mit der deutsch-französischen und europäischen Geschichte nach 1989. In jeder Sitzung wird ein Artikel oder Buch in der Gruppe diskutiert. Das soll auch helfen, die Grundlagen des Fachvokabulars und historiographische Kenntnisse in französischer Sprache zu vermitteln.
L’objectif de ce cours est d’étudier des textes classiques en histoire comparée et des thématiques connexes comme l’histoire transnationale de manière générale. En effet, le comparatisme ne se pose pas de la même manière dans l’école des Annales de Marc Bloch et Lucien Febvre (6e Congrès international des sciences historiques d’Oslo, 1928) et, par exemple, dans l’„histoire croisée“ de Michael Werner et Bénédicte Zimmermann (2004). Les textes ne seront pas seulement discutés en séminaire, mais aussi articulés au contexte social et politique. Quel a été l’apport des sciences humaines et sociales pour le renouveau de ces problématiques? Si les historiens mobilisent toujours de manière nouvelle la comparaison pour établir des points communs et des dissemblances, le renouvellement des problématiques doit beaucoup à la prise en compte des transferts culturels (Michel Espagne) et au développement d’une nouvelle histoire franco-allemande après 1989 au-delà de l’histoire nationale (exemple de l’Histoire franco-allemande en 11 volumes aux éditions du Septentrion). Les séances seront organisées autour de l’exposé d’un article ou d’un livre discuté en groupe. Elles ont aussi pour objectif d’acquérir des bases de vocabulaire technique et des connaissances historiographiques en français.
