Foucault!!!

Hi bloggers! 

 Today im want to talk about Michel foucault. This french man was born in 1926 and died in 1984. He was a great philosopher and historian asociated with the structuralist and post-structuralist movements. He was a psicologist too! He graduate psicology  before he acquired his title in philosophy. He was a great man in his fieds, his ideas have been a big influence in psychiatry and psicology, mainly in describing treatments, mental illness, and  the structures in psychiatric hospitals. His ideas about  power regarding psychiatry and his therapy are the most important attribution to this field.  All of this, is in his book  “the psychiatric power”. I think, you must read it!! It is a very interesting book. 

I like this guy, because i think that his titles in phylosophy, psychology, and human ciences are a great tool to assemble a big analysis about the psychiatric condition, specifically in the matter that he explained, the power relations inside the psychiatric hospital and how the people of this place, as patients as nurses,  include the director of the psychiatric hospital interact and influence each other.

til next time!!!
