Abstract
This essay situates Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and Michel Foucault's Madness and Civilization within the postwar context of deinstitutionalization, as well as a modernist tradition of overvaluing madness known as schizophilia. Although Hitchcock and Foucault participated in the tradition of schizophilia, their appeals to both history and the avant-garde enabled them to produce works that broke with traditional ways of conceiving madness.
