Résumé anglais In colonial Vietnam, mental asylums were designed as large agricultural colonies, where patients would work the land on the path to healing and eventual liberation. This article discusses the role of labor as a kind of therapy for asylum patients, and how French psychiatric experts were constantly drawn into broader networks of care and economy, thereby shifting attention from the asylum itself to the world beyond its walls.
