The nature of madness has been a topic for discussion since ancient times. However, mental illness is related to modern times and connected with institucionalisation of psychiatry. According to Michel Foucault it was the need of the burgeoisie to do away with troublesome individuals in the 18th century that led to the foundation of special institutions for the so-called mentally ill. Within the framework of those „cells for the unwanted“ psychiatry became a scientific discipline.

Tomáš Uhnák
The number of fields and trends Tomáš Uhnák devotes his attention to is misleading. In reality we can discover intersections and a „specialization“ of its kind, which is based on „expert generalism“, to use his own term.
