Workshop : Writing the history of psychiatry after 1945 ULB &#8211; 30 and 31 May 2008Organisers: Volker Hess (Berlin/Charit&#233;) and Beno&#238;t Majerus (ULB) The history of psychiatry in the twentieth century is characterised by an historiographic void compared with the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This post-1945 historiographic void has been cited frequently in recent literature  and comprises the starting point for this workshop. It aims to present an overview of the current state of research and move beyond the narrow perspectives that characterises the history of psychiatry in terms of whiggish or cyclic (biological against social psychiatry) progression . This first workshop will focus on two questions: the chronologies and paradigms of current research. 30 MayChairmanship: Kenneth Bertrams14.00 - 14.45: Greg Eghigian Deinstitutionalizing the History of Contemporary PsychiatryDiscussant: Volker Hess14.45 - 15.30: John Burnham Understanding globalization in psychiatryin the late twentieth century: profiles of international communicationDiscussant: Beno&#238;t Majerus15.30 - 16.00: pause16.00 - 16.45: Catherine Fussinger Between reformers and antipsychiatry, what kind of historical analyse for the &#8220;therapeutic community&#8221;?Discussant: Greg Eghigian16.45 - 17.30: Nicolas Henckes The reform of psychiatric hospitals as a way of reading the history of psychiatry in the 20th centuryDiscussant: John Burnham 31 MayChairmanship: Jean-Michel Chaumont9.00 - 9.45: Volker Hess The case GDR.
