La psychiatrie coloniale française en Algérie et au Sénégal

René Collignon

Revue Tiers Monde, 2006, vol. 47, issue 187, 527-546

Abstract: [eng] René Collignon - French colonial psychiatry in Algeria and Senegal.. This article gives an outline of the historisation of French colonial psychiatry in Africa starting from two contrasting situations: Algeria, a settlement colony conferred with the status of French administrative départements, and Senegal, in West Africa, where no European colonial population had become established. The starting point of a psychiatric assistance project in the colonies goes back to the report by Reboul and Régis at the French psychiatrists'conference in Tunis in 1912, which defined a policy to follow. The problems of implementation are examined, as are the accomplishments up to the time of independence and the emergence of a corpus of "ethnopsychiatric" knowledge on the people who were colonized.
