Concerning your second question. I was reading Leçon 7/10/1973 in le pouvoir
psychiatrique recently. In his autocritique on H/F, F. says he will try to
reconsider H/F not from the point of view of representations of madness but
from a dispositif de pouvoir. (p.14) in his second autocritique on the last
chapters of H/F he says that he used the concept of Violence (next to
institution and family) which seemed to be unfruitful. Pouvoir is more
appropriate, less irrational and thus a better concept for analysis. (p.
16). In that way it is not so obvious to read power analysis in the older
texts
