Resumo

The topic I propose to present this year, psychiatric power, is slightly, but not completely, different from the topics I have spoken to you about over the last two years.I will begin by trying to describe a kind of fictional scene in the following familiar, recognizable setting: I would like these homes to be built in sacred forests, in steep and isolated spots, in the midst of great disorder, like at the Grande-Chartreuse, etcetera.Also, before the newcomer arrives at his destination, it would be a good idea if he were to be brought down by machines, be taken through ever new and more amazing places, and if the officials of these places were to wear distinctive costumes.The romantic is suitable here, and I have often said to myself that we could make use of those old castles built over caverns that pass through a hill and open out onto a pleasant little valley... Phantasmagoria and other resources of physics, music, water, flashes of lightning, thunder, etcetera would be used in turn and, very likely, not without some success on the common man.
