Description

A fictionalized hybrid of personal memoir, case studies, dream sequences, and theoretical reflection, this book on madness, trauma and psychiatry uses a fictional form to engage with psychotic experience and to make the case for a less mechanized, more humane treatment of "fools and madmen." Review Françoise Davoine's unique, vibrant tale of folly's journey takes us on many paths, and in doing so, shows us folly's place in history and its startling and painful resonances in the consulting room. Simply brilliant.--Valerie Walkerdine "Cardiff University" Luminous, erudite, diabolically ironic, and wonderfully wild, Francoise Davoine's Mother Folly turns psychiatry on its head. Taking her lead from that great satirical work by Erasmus, The Praise of Folly, Davoine has created a hybrid text, which combines elements of the novel, theatrical production, philosophical meditation, and narrative history to expose the absurdities of contemporary platitudes about mental illness and its treatment and to reveal the hidden truths of trauma and madness.-- "Siri Hustvedt" About the Author Françoise Davoine is a writer, psychoanalyst, and professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris.
