Sommario/riassunto

Le Vol d'un Condor by Claude Deutsch is an autobiographical account of the author's life as a prominent figure in the field of mental health. Known by the nickname 'Condor' during a period of his life, Deutsch offers insight into his active role in advocating for mental health reforms and the dignity of individuals deemed 'alienated' by society. The book traces his journey from his Jewish atheist childhood through events like the May 1968 movement in Nanterre, his pioneering work in establishing alternatives to psychiatric hospitals, and his involvement in initiatives like the Mad-Pride. Deutsch's narrative intertwines personal experiences with theoretical reflections, emphasizing the importance of autonomy and ethical responsibility in mental health practices. The book serves as both a personal memoir and a historical reflection on the evolution of mental health care, aimed at readers interested in social activism, mental health, and philosophical inquiry.
