Madness and Foucault

Well, how's this for synchronicity? Just recently talking on here about my problems with Foucault, especially his "masterpiece" Madness and Civilization, as well as discussing mental illness in general.

And today, Theodore Dalyrimple writes a lovely piece about asylums and the relative nonsense of Foucault's Madness and Civilization.
