Caution: madness! About punitive psychiatry and ordinary people

In the early 1960s, the famous philosopher and historian Michel Foucault pondered the question: who are the mad and how has society's attitude towards them changed throughout history. The result of these reflections was a fundamental work on history that reinforced the author's hypothesis that the science of the mentally ill has always been in the service of the state. And if so, can it be called a science? Throughout human history, the term "mad" was applied not to those who were ill, but to those who were inconvenient to the state. The more one reflects, the more likely it is that the fact of having thoughts will be used as an argument for admission to a psychiatrist. This publication is a fundamental sociological and anthropological work dedicated to the study of the concepts of normalcy and pathology. The book served as an impetus for the creation of the so-called "anti-psychiatry" movement, which opposed the system of punitive measures against any form of dissent.
