It was _Maladie Mentale et Personalite_, rather than the intro to
Biswanger, that Foucault repudiated. The latter went out of print and was
generally hard to get, but it was the former that he really disliked. He
refused all reprinting rights of the first, 1954 edition, and tried
(unsucessfully) to prevent the translation of the radically revised 1962
version (_Maladie Mentale et Psychologie_).
