Un Abecedaire de la psychiatrie

The book Un Abecedaire de la Psychiatrie is the fruit of a collaboration between the artists of the duo NO SOVEREIGN AUTHOR and the patients of the psychiatric day center "La Fabrique du Pre", located in Nivelles, Belgium. Presented in the form of a dictionary, the book invites us to rethink the world of psychiatry through the eyes of patients. Original, visually powerful works of art created by patients in collaboration with artists illustrate each entry in the dictionary, offering a radically new, uninhibited approach to psychiatry. Each word, freed from historical interpretations, opens up to a new, more sensitive reality, closer to us and to those who live it. In their hands and before our eyes, the scientific lexicon of psychiatry becomes the language of the heart and soul.
