What interests a psychiatrist in the revolt? Andreas Heinz, Head of Psychiatry at Berlin’s Charité, laughs. His book “The Colonized Brain and the Ways of Revolt” has just been published by Suhrkamp. In it, he examines the role of racist justifications for domination in the history of discussions about mental illness. The book is a wild ride through the dialectic of psychiatric history between disciplining and “revolt”. Sometimes you fall off your horse just reading it, but the journey provides amazing visuals.
