Robert Castel : Questioning the institution.
Following the analysis of some of the most significant psychiatric or psychoanalytical works recently published which question the institutional organization of mental medicine, our study uses the evidence given by the agents who are professionnally concerned in bringing out the extra-medical stakes of the crisis. In order to do this we clearly distinguish between a psycho-sociology of the psychiatric establishment dealing with the internal organization, the traditions, the professional practices etc., and a sociology of the psychiatric institution within a theoretical frame that considers the psychiatric system in general as a power and social control apparatus. This direction must be priviledged since it makes it possible to go beyond the psychiatric rationalizations and to tackle the objective functions assumed by mental medicine.
