Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason by Michel Foucault

4.0

Reads like eating many French saws in succession. A painfully edifying bad trip that reveals the brief and brutal history of the nascent science of psychology. A reminder to stay suspect of minimally successful methods and open to progress, which given the disastrous infancy of the field so far, is surely still ahead of us.
