Anthology of French Language Psyschiatric Texts

📕 The World Psychiatry Association has decided to publish a collection of anthologies of the fundamental texts of international psychiatric literature. These selected extracts will be published in each country simultaneously in the language in which they were written and in English translation, so that readers around the world for whom the working language of the World Association is more familiar, will find them easily accessible, yet may refer where appropriate to the original version. It may even be hoped that these extracts will prompt many psychiatrists to read the works from which they were taken in full. This will enable them to rediscover forgotten authors who introduced into psychopathology concepts which we continue to use, without always knowing their precise origin. In the case of authors who are well-known or at least still quoted today, the reader will also be able to discover what exactly they wrote, for such quotations are often inaccurate, and it is a surprise to find, in referring to the actual text from which they were taken, that the author’s thinking is quite different from that attributed to him, particularly in quotations of quotations.
