About this title

Synopsis

Within the Western medical community, French physicians played the most vigorous role in constituting and legitimating the science of psychiatry. In an account that spans the enlightened absolutist experiments of the 1780s through to the early Third Republic the author shows how this was achieved.

From the Inside Flap

Since its publication in 1987, Console and Classify has become a classic work in the history of science and in French intellectual and cultural history. Now with a new afterword, this much-cited and much-discussed book gives readers the chance to revisit the rise of psychiatry in nineteenth-century France, the shape it took and why, and its importance both then and in contemporary society.
