Buissonnaire itinerary of a sector psychiatrist
While Charlie Chaplin gave us a generous and poetic image of the vagrant, how can the practice of a public service psychiatrist follow in the footsteps of this disarming wanderer? How to try to open the field of the most fruitful questions, how to propose that improbable encounters happen between the most dissimilar people, how to explore the sometimes steep paths of thought, artistic expression, philosophical reflection and the social issue? It is to these questions that Michaël Guyader tries to give an outline of an answer by recounting his exhilarating adventure as head of the psychiatric department in the least affluent Parisian suburbs: accompanied by a remarkable team of competence, ‘ attention and dedication he worked to implement a care project oriented by resistance to any form of domination of man by his fellow man, in an era where the behavior of partition, segregation and exclusion are blooming. From his companionship with madness and through encounters with a number of “ordinary people doing extraordinary things” as Lucien Bonnafé said, he gives us a strong incentive to think without too much constraint and offers everyone a point of reflection radical and original view on alienation, between psychoanalysis and politics.
According to the author this book tells “what I had the privilege of building with a wonderful team during fifteen years of service management and particularly what I was able to accomplish in the implementation of a service project marked by the concern for good articulation between the medical and the social, in the aid and care of autistic patients, in the creation of listening devices for young people in a particularly disadvantaged suburb, but also during my participation in the operation Un avion pour Iraq and finally what I had to do as head of Franco-Palestinian cooperation in mental health for ten years. »
