What interests me here is the fact that the mental patient, especially the incurable chronic patient, perceived as a real problem from this perspective, will become, in general terms, the dilettante addressee of the psychiatric discourse on work. And from this centrality, we will subsequently investigate how the medical discourse will also slide other arguments, which open up to broader dimensions, and which, by way of reinforcement of its postulates, suggest the way to other interpretations. In this movement, around the 1930s, a social reading of the chronically mentally ill can be detected, which reveals an effort to conceptualize their position no longer from a strictly psychiatric conception but from a social-assistance one.
