[Following on the traces of lost words (the stakes in a psychiatric dossier).]
Abstract:
The psychiatrie institution is scrutinized through the individual personal medical file which is seen as its mean of expression. The treating personnel, through their institutional position, takes part in this expression (where the word of the patient has no place, where the desire is excluded, the suffering concealed and objectified). Our aim is not to study mental health. It's etiology or its nature but more to enter into the space where it is written and fixated. The reading of a psychotic child's medical file shows how the alienating processes which are closely related to the very form of the psychiatric file are structured.
