Madness deranges, throws us off balance, and makes us lose our
footing. Yet some writers claim that madness is an enlargement of
normality. But how can that which we cannot control belong to
'normality'? And what is normality? For more than 30 years, the
permanent display on psychiatry has been the very heart of the
Museum Dr. Guislain in Ghent. The history of psychiatry is the
inspiration for new thematic exhibitions every year, in which the
museum seeks to dislodge entrenched views and deep-rooted stigmas
and reframe them in the context of today. In October 2019, this
permanent display received a make-over and has been presented under
the title 'Unhinged', in which the Museum Dr. Guislain offers a
fresh look at its own history as a museum. The richly illustrated
publication explores the boundaries of the traditional and goes in
search of the sane in the insane. It provides an overview of
psychiatry on the basis of five contemporary themes that enter into
dialogue with each other: 'power and powerlessness', 'body and
mind', 'architecture', 'classification' and 'imagination'.
Historical documents are also put side by side with contemporary
art, creating a dynamic interpretation. This new approach reflects
today's 'crazy' society, in which, happily, increasing attention is
being paid to psychological vulnerability, but in which mental
health care is also facing new challenges more than ever.
