- Freedom and the Cage was the outcome of a twelve-year research project. An interdisciplinary examination of seven large state psychiatric complexes, it is based on mapping a field of historical activity – architectural, psychiatric and administrative – that did not appear in scholarship. The research required site visits and extensive archival work in five countries and four languages, and included working in difficult-to-navigate archives in places like Lviv and Krakow. Analysis for the book involved working closely with and translating sections from handwritten and published texts in German and Italian, and commissioning translations from Czech and Polish.
