Abstract

„Die Prosa der durch ihre Lyrik berühmt gewordenen österreichischen Dichterin (1915 bis 1973) hatte es immer schwerer. Das gilt auch für ihre zu Lebzeiten unveröffentlichte Aufarbeitung eines sechswöchigen freiwilligen Psychiatrie-Aufenthalts, nach einem Selbstmordversuch im Alter von zwanzig Jahren. Die häusliche Enge, der sie entflieht, hat ihre Entsprechung in der Willkür des Klinikpersonals. Doch ihr klarer Blick auf die Herrschaftsverhältnisse setzt sich durch" (Platz 4 der SWR Bestenliste Januar 2017).

Abstract

"This book brings together the histories of a number of psychoanalytically-informed hospitals, and provides a synthesis of the theoretical underpinnings in the institutional practice of each. Of particular interest is how psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically-trained staff working in institutions apply their theoretical understanding, and in what ways the psychoanalytic technique has been modified or adapted to the treatment of individual patients with psychosis and to the workings of an institution in general. Here the institution is the subject of the case study. Institutions that are theoretically orientated to psychoanalysis were chosen and examined, taking into account their various approaches to the treatment. A number of institutional models that are informed by psychoanalysis offer a guide to the treatment and present a version of institutional practice that is different from the prevailing models in psychiatry. This has implications for health services in the current climate of mental health reform. Psychoanalysis has its greatest efficacy in long-term treatments and has shown its suitability for patients diagnosed with psychosis when the method is adapted to the uniqueness of each person and is conducted by an experienced clinician. The treatment of psychosis cannot usually be conceived without considering some form of institutional care, although this does depend on the level of the individual's psychopathology. This is because the majority of people with a psychotic illness, especially those with schizophrenia, will be exposed to inpatient, community or outpatient treatment, in one form or other, during the course of their lives."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

In Germany, legislation concerning the treatment of prisoners and detainees in forensic psychiatric institutions, as well as the interpretation of the relevant law have to a large extent been shaped by the case-law of the Federal Constitutional Court. The author, from 2002 to 2014 Associate Justice on the Federal Constitutional Court, presents a comprehensive survey of that case-law on the basis of extracts from decisions, covering general principles – concerning, for example, security, resocialisation, the implementation of preventive detention, and the admissible reach of privatisations – as well as all kinds of living conditions and measures to which prisoners and other detainees may or may not be subjected, and the relevant constitional requirements concerning judicial protection.

Abstract

"After the closure of Willard Psychiatric Center on New York's Seneca Lake in 1995, a trove of over four hundred abandoned suitcases was discovered in its attic. The suitcases contained thousands of personal possessions belonging to former patients. Three of the suitcases were owned by Charles F., an eighty-four-year-old Russian Jewish immigrant arrested at a Brooklyn subway station in 1946 and institutionalized at Willard State Hospital (as it was then known). An extraordinary collaboration between image and text, What Remains pairs Jon Crispin's gripping photographs of Charles's belongings with Ilan Stavans's intriguing, speculative portrait of a patient and institution at odds with one another. Anxious, isolated, and senile, Charles strikes an unexpected friendship with a young doctor whose empathy accompanies him through a sudden spiritual awakening. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Stavans, himself an immigrant from Mexico whose family is marked by bouts of mental illness, approaches his character as a surrogate of his own personal journey. Crispin's photographs of Charles's possessions-including clothing, household tools, and Jewish ritual objects-are haunting in their power to compel the reader to imagine a distant man's life. A moving blend of fact and fiction, photography and prose, What Remains reflects on questions of mental health, spirituality, and the Jewish immigrant experience in midcentury America"--
