When Will the Train Come?

Conversations on Madness
Publisher Calmann-Lévy
Keywords Asylum - Madness
An extraordinary conversation about madness and everyday life in a mental hospital, between psychiatrist Jean Oury and psychoanalyst and writer Marie Depussé.

This one-of-a-kind conversation juxtaposes theory and poetic, sometimes even funny scenes of daily life in a mental hospital, in which the authors offer thoughts on the concept of madness.
“No matter the season, they just sit down on the château's old stone steps and wait. You’ve said before that psychotics are like suitcases, left behind in a remote train station and awaiting delivery. When your psychiatry professor visited the hospital, he looked at the steps and asked one question: ‘When will the train arrive’?”
