Synopsis "Psychiatric Power: Lectures at the College de France, 1973-74: Lectures at the College de France, 1973-1974 (Michel Foucault, Lectures at the Collège de France)"

In this new addition to the Collège de France lecture series, Michel Foucault's historical enquiry into the uses and techniques of power and knowledge finds itself directed towards a study of the birth of psychiatry. Psychiatric Power shows not only how Western society's division of the "mad" from the "sane" began, but also how society, medicine, and law and their treatment of the "mad" developed into what we now recognize as modern psychiatry, and how modern social and political attitudes towards madness developed. A seminal work by this leading thinker of the modern age, Psychiatric Power builds on Foucault's published writings while opening new vistas within historical and philosophical study.

Michel Foucault (Poiters, 1926 – París, 1984), filósofo, historiador y sociólogo francés, fue profesor en numerosas universidades tanto francesas como internacionales. En 1970 la asamblea general de profesores del Collège de France le concedió la titularidad de la cátedra Historia de los sistemas de pensamiento, que ocupó hasta su muerte.
Hijo de un eminente cirujano de la zona de Vichy, Foucault no destacó en los estudios hasta llegar a la École Normale Supérieure, paso previo para acceder a la Universidad, donde cursó filosofía y psicología. No obstante acabó doctorándose y convirtiéndose en el autor más citado del mundo en el ámbito de humanidades de 2007, según The Times Higher Education Guide.
En 1966 publica Les Mots et les choses, uno de sus más importantes aportaciones al estructuralismo junto a Jacques Lacan, Claude Lévi-Strauss y Roland Barthes.
Michel Foucault es autor, entre otros libros, de Historia de la locura, Vigilar y castigar, Historia de la sexualidad —de la cual tan sólo concluyó 3 volúmenes—, Enfermedad mental y personalidad, Enfermedad mental y psicología, Discurso y verdad en la antigua Grecia, Obras esenciales y De lenguaje y literatura, los cinco últimos publicados por Paidós.
