In the dominant North American imagination, the asylum has always been a place of the other in society. Stories of Saskatchewan asylums and their reincarnations as mental hospitals are filled with early twentieth century horror narratives and redemptive tales of mid-century scientific progress: the monstrousness of the labyrinthine asylum structures and its arcane treatments, the modern marvels of the experimental therapies and the lives saved by the scientific authorities. Still some of the most infamous buildings to haunt provincial imagination, mental hospitals became more than buildings designed to treat disease in Saskatchewan: they were a cultural phenomenon. The hospitals themselves became social objects invested with meanings which shaped social relations.<p> This thesis investigates how the built structure of the asylum and in particular the North Battleford and Weyburn Mental Hospitals were perceived, experienced and theorized in early twentieth century and post-war Saskatchewan society. In analyzing architectural drawings, floor plans, television documentaries, photographs and patients' personal stories, this dissertation takes a critical look at how patients and staff were situated within the built structure at certain points and in particular during the Weyburn Mental Hospitals extensive earlier twentieth century history and its mid-century re-birth as a modern psychiatric research centre. Feminist and post-colonial debates about the history of medicine and eugenics, spatial and socio-practices of power within built structure and the representation of patients and health professionals in colonial and modern society are also examined as a means to situate the discussion of the mental hospital within the broader context of the discussion on spatial discourses.

The increasing importance of music as a therapeutic benefit in mental hospitals has prompted this study. Numerous unscientific reports and papers concerned with music therapy have been published; however, material based upon controlled experiments and results is available which has proven valuable in the study of this growing aid for mental patients. The reference material in the following chapters has been organized and limited to objective reports produced by those who have devoted their interest and time to the facts about the use of music as a therapeutic agent in mental hospitals.

Le premier objectif de cette thèse est d’observer le fonctionnement d’une société plongée dans la guerre et confrontée à l’une de ses conséquences : l’internement de soldats atteints de troubles mentaux. Il s’agit de montrer comment, en prenant l’asile d’aliénés pour terrain d’étude et en analysant l’expérience d’un groupe d’individus apparemment isolé et minoritaire, il est possible de contribuer à une histoire totale de la guerre. En effet, contrairement à ce qu’on pourrait croire en se focalisant sur la littérature médicale, le sort de ces hommes n’intéresse pas seulement les psychiatres. Le recours à des archives de différentes natures montre que leur famille, leurs camarades, leurs chefs, les représentants de l’armée, de l’État, des départements et des communes ou encore l’administration asilaire réagissent, interviennent, prennent des décisions à leur sujet. Entre 1914 et 1918 puis jusqu’à la disparition des derniers poilus internés, la situation des soldats atteints de troubles mentaux soulève, selon le point de vue adopté, des enjeux scientifiques, militaires, politiques, économiques ou encore culturels qui dépassent leurs simples cas particuliers. Les parcours de ces hommes et leurs témoignages révèlent en outre une dimension longtemps méconnue de la violence de guerre et des souffrances endurées par les soldats, y compris après l’armistice. Examiner comment leurs troubles sont considérés par les médecins mais aussi par l’ensemble de la société amène à se demander dans quelle mesure le conflit transforme la prise en charge et la perception d’une catégorie spécifique de la population, les aliénés. Participant à réfléchir au rôle de la guerre dans les transformations des dispositifs d’action publique, cette thèse a donc pour deuxième objectif d’évaluer l’impact des années 1914-1918 sur l’évolution de l’assistance psychiatrique au XXe siècle. / The primary objective of this thesis is to observe the functioning of a society plunged into war and faced with one of its consequences: the internment of soldiers suffering from mental illness. The aim is to show that we can contribute to the global history of the war by analyzing the experiences of a small group of people within a mental asylum, though their experiences may seem isolated and unrepresentative of the majority. Contrary to the implications of the purely medical literature, it was not in fact the psychiatrists alone who had an interest in the situation of these men: investigation of various kinds of archive shows that their families, fellow soldiers, senior officers, the representatives of the armed forces and the government at national, regional and local level, as well as asylum directors and their staff, reacted, intervened and took decisions concerning them. Between 1914 and 1918, and subsequently until the passing of the last interned 'poilus', the case of soldiers victims of mental illness raises issues of psychological, military, political, economic and cultural nature which transcend their individual particularities. Furthermore, these men’s histories and their voices reveal a long-overlooked dimension of the violence of war and the suffering endured by the soldiers both before and after the armistice. By examining the way in which their conditions were regarded, not only by doctors but by society as a whole, we come to ask ourselves to what extent conflict affects the way in which those who were categorized as mentally ill were perceived. Therefore the second objective of this thesis is to reflect on the role of war in transforming social intervention measures, thereby evaluating the effect of the 1914-1918 period on the evolution of psychiatric assistance during the 20th century.

Para tanto, toma Franco da Rocha, espaço exemplar de alocação do desvio. Através da análise da relação da cidade com o hospital psiquiátrico que a instituiu, o Hospital do Juqueri, o que se põe em visibilidade são os discursos que instalam a 'corporeidade¿ da cidade, ou seja, os discursos que fazem funcionar a contradição constitutiva que esse lugar inaugural funda e que se materializa nas formas de pertencimento e de inserção no espaço urbano. Buscamos a escuta das vozes que se materializam na cidade e que materializam o corpo da cidade: corpo fluido, sítio de significação, espaço de ancoração simbólica e cambiante dos sentidos que fundam modos de subjetivação, processos de identificação marcados por saberes e poderes que ditam aos sujeitos as ordens discursivas que determinam os processos possíveis de espacialização dos mesmos nos espaços urbanos.Trazer a espessura dos discursos que circulam na cidade constituída como espaço de alocação do desvio implica ainda em tomar as relações de litígio que aí se produzem, não apenas como efeito, mas como lugar de materialização da contradição constitutiva. O corpo da cidade, sua corporeidade, diz, então, da análise do corpo posto, do corpo exposto e do corpo que circula sentidos que se filiam aos seus movimentos fundantes / Abstract: The present work has as purpose the comprehension of the deviation in the process of constitutivity of a city. Therefore, it takes for analysis the city of Franco da Rocha as an example of allocation of deviation. Through the analysis of the relation of the city with the psychiatric hospital that instituted the referred city (the Hospital of the Juqueri) what is put in visibility are the speeches that institute the corporeity of the city, that is, the speeches that make the constituent contradiction function that this inaugural place founds and that materializes in the forms of belonging and of insertion in the urban space. We listened to the voices that materialized in the city and that materialize the body of Franco da Rocha: body fluid, place of signification, space of symbolic anchorage and changeable of the meanings that found modes of subjectivity, processes of identification marked by knowledge and power that dictate the discursive orders to the subjects that determine the possible processes of spacialization of themselves in the urban spaces. To bring the thickness of the discourses that circulate in the city constituted as a space of allocation of deviation implies also, into taking the litigious relations that are there produced, not only as effect, but as a place of materialization of constitutive contradiction.The body of the city, its corporeity, so it says then, analyzes of the body presented, the body exposed and the body that circulates meanings that affiliate in its founded movements / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística

The aim of this study was to examine the use of animals in the therapy of neurotic disorders under the settings of mental hospitals. First part of this work desribes neurotic disorders and their therapy with a particular emphasis on AAT (Anima-Assisted-Therapy, pet therapy) and its subdivisions (hippotherapy, canistherapy, etc.) Principals of AAT are explained. Further, contraindications and possible risks are mentioned and the inherent possibility of animal misuse is discussed. The theses include basic guidelines and methods used in AAT and concludes with practical observations made by psychotherapists from the Czech mental hospitals.

O presente estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de um recorte da experiência de trabalho, nos anos de 2007 a 2010. Problematiza os modos de funcionamento que insistem na produção de vidas enclausuradas e focalmente analisa as internações compulsórias, seus efeitos e as estratégias de enfrentamento ao uso deste mecanismo legal que judicializa a vida sob a lógica do biopoder. A pesquisa discute ainda os desafios atuais da Política Nacional de Saúde Mental, seus avanços e retrocessos, as movimentações da Luta Antimanicomial e da Reforma Psiquiátrica. A cartografia é utilizada como perspectiva metodológica. No percurso deste trabalho construiu-se uma postura cartográfica, que desejou acima de tudo viver as experiências do saber-fazer não estabelecido de antemão, e sim aquele saber que surge, que emerge de um fazer. A pesquisa resulta na construção de cinco relampejos/causos que enfocam a mistura de gentes, de diferentes gentes que resistem ao tempo, que não sucumbem a cronificação e atualizam a potência de um coletivo. Assim, constata-se que esta pesquisa/ intervenção pôde inaugurar diálogos, potencializar novos e insistentes encontros de conversações, disparando diferentes graus de visibilidade para o lugar do louco, da loucura na atualidade. Tenciona o campo da saúde mental via a internação compulsória e sua interface com a justiça. Inaugura a articulação da internação compulsória com a judicialização da saúde, e amplia este debate para a judicialização da vida. Enfatiza o uso/abuso do mecanismo da internação compulsória em suas facetas de contra reforma psiquiátrica, exclusão e confinamento perpétuo de pessoas. / This research analyzes the processes and practices of compulsory hospitalization in the Short Stay Unit at Hospital Adauto Botelho (from May 10th, 2010, Clinical Attention State Hospital - HEAC), located in Cariacica - municipality of Greater Vitória Metropolitan Region Espírito Santo/ Brazil. This study was developed from a work experience outline, from 2007 to 2010. It discusses the modes of operation that insist on the production of imprisoned lives and focally analyzes the periodic admissions, their effects and coping strategies to use this legal mechanism that judicializes life under the logic of biopower. The research still discusses the current challenges of Mental Health National Politics, their progress and retreats, Anti Asylum Fight progresses and the Psychiatric Reform. The cartography is used as methodological perspective. In the course of this work a cartographic posture was built, that pursued, above all, to live the experiences of know-doing not established beforehand, but the knowledge that appears, that emerges from doing. The research results in the building of five insights/causes that focus on the mixture of people, from different nations that resist the passing of time, that does not succumb to the chronicity and update the power of a collective. Thus, it is noted that this research/intervention could inaugurate dialogs, potentiate new and insistent talk meetings, providing different degrees of visibility about the madman, the madness of today. It tensions the field of mental health via the compulsory hospitalization and its interface with the justice. It inaugurates the articulation of compulsory hospitalization with the judicialization of health, and it extends this debate for the judicialization of life. It emphasizes the use/abuse of the mechanism of compulsory hospitalization in its facets of a counterpsychiatric reform, exclusion and perpetual confinement of people.
