The [invisible] work is a documentary film that emerged from the Interreg IV research project “Psychiatric Landscapes” and deals with the history of psychiatric care in the area of ​​historic Tyrol from 1830 to the present day.

content

The film specifically chooses the nurses' perspective to tell the local psychiatric history. As a rule, this group is not perceived as actors in the history of medicine; the work of psychiatric nursing (like that of general nursing ) is not infrequently invisible. In five parts - along the historical periods - topics such as training, everyday work and job description of nursing, but also special psychiatric phenomena such as coercion and custody or the development of treatment methods over the past 180 years are questioned. The chapter on the Nazi era also asks about the role of care when the patients got caught in the killing machinery of “ Aktion T4 ” and the mortality rate rose significantly in the Hall of Asylum.

The themes of the five film sections are:

  1. The early period (1830-1880)
  2. The large institutions and the beginning of the clinic (1880-1930s)
  3. Eugenic Science and Nazi Euthanasia (1933–1945)
  4. The long 1950s (1945-1970s)
  5. Ways to Open Psychiatry (1970s to Today)

Emergence

In the years 2008–2012, the “Psychiatric Landscapes” project developed a series of products that are dedicated to the history of psychiatry in Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino and something like the scientific and didactic preparatory work for a planned learning and memorial site in the former “crazy” institution in Hall in Tirol . The products are: (1) A book on the history of psychiatry in the historical region of Tyrol; (2) a traveling exhibition that puts the patient at the center of the story and (3) a didactic concept for the planned learning location. The fourth product in this context was the film "The [In] Visible Work", the focus of which is on care and the medium of which should be the lesson-friendly online short film.
