"A spell-binding account—not only of the murder of a family by a 'madman,' but also the murder of free will and responsibility by the mad-doctors. A glimpse into the birth of the psychiatrization of law, the medicalization of crime, and the therapeutization of justice."—Thomas S. Szasz, M.D. "For Foucault, Rivière provides the 'excuse' to examine power structures and social institutions, to question the scientificity of medical science, and to delineate the chaos of values and beliefs, of knowledge and power as it existed 150 years ago—a chaos we have not yet eliminated."—Edith Kurzweil, The Age of Structuralism
