The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Clinique fondée en 1956 par le docteur Jeangirard, s'insérant dans le mouvement de psychothérapie institutionnelle apparu après la Libération. Le principe de ce mouvement remet en cause le renfermement asilaire par l'insertion du malade dans un entrelacs de relations institutionnelles qui lui permettent d'établir des échanges sociaux. L'utilisation de matériaux de récupération participe à la conception de l'architecte suisse Boiscuillé. La clinique comporte une école de psychiatrie institutionnelle, ainsi qu'une antenne de l'école spéciale d'architecture qui a pour mission l'étude et la réalisation des bâtiments nécessaires. Ont été construits ainsi un foyer-salle de réunion et un atelier d'ergothérapie. Le second programme, l'Orient-Express hôtel, comporte un bâtiment pour les stagiaires psychothérapeutes, système conçu à partir de wagons de première classe datant de 1928.

Clinic founded in 1956 by doctor Jeangirard, fitting into the institutional psychotherapy movement that appeared after the Liberation. The principle of this movement questions institutional confinement by the integration of the patient in a network of institutional relations that allow him to establish social exchanges. The use of salvaged materials participates in the conception of Swiss architect Boiscuillé. The clinic includes a school of institutional psychiatry, as well as a branch of the special school of architecture which has the mission of studying and realising the necessary buildings. Thus constructed were a day centre-meeting hall and an occupational therapy workshop. The second programme, the Orient-Express hotel, includes a building for trainee psychotherapists, a system designed from first-class railway carriages dating from 1928.
