THE HURT IMAGINATION

Book ID/图书代码： 03635010B36790

English Summary/英文概要： In 1981 I had a breakdown, for which I sought help from a psychoanalyst. Psychoanalysis sent me on an emotional journey so painful and disorienting that eventually I needed institutional care. I spent three years in psychiatric institutions, as an inpatient and a day-patient. Here I found myself embroiled in the biggest shake-up of mental health care since the mid-nineteenth century. In Britain, as in most western nations, the mentally ill were moving from the asylum into the community, as part of a process designed to transform them from modern-day lepers into health consumers, picking and choosing from an array of ‘wellbeing services’. The ‘dependency culture’ was pronounced dead, along with the stigmatised figure of the asylum inmate. The lunatic, that age-old emblem of human frailty, was swept away by a new age of ‘normalisation’ and ‘social inclusion’.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1981年，我精神一度崩溃，因而求助于精神分析学家。我的精神分析师给我开启了一项痛苦的旅程治疗，最终我需要机构关怀。我在精神病院住了三年。我发现自己在19世纪中期以来最大的精神病院。在英国，和大多数西方国家一样，精神病人从精神病院搬到了社区，这是一种进步，为了不让他们与健康人群脱离。“依赖文化”和精神病院宣布退出历史舞台。上了年纪的人类情感脆弱，精神疯癫已被“正常”和“社会融和”所取代。(XJJ)
