Psychiatry in Morocco during the French Protectorate

Psychiatry is a major challenge to the current Morocco despite the existence of other health priorities. The management of psychiatric disease was present in Morocco for centuries already with the existence of famous bmristns like Sal or Sidi Fredj in Fez, a brilliant period for the Arabo-Andalusian medicine in Morocco. The Scientific decline in Morocco was accompanied by the presence of the supernatural and the irrational in front of the stage and this will continue until early a protectorate. But long before the signing of the A protectorate Treaty of March 30, 1912 missionary doctors participated in medical assistance. French psychiatry will thus mark for a period language organization of psychiatric assistance to Morocco. The objective of this work is to shed light on the contribution of the French colonial psychiatry in Morocco.
