Publisher's Note:
"For this translated edition, which is intended for the general reader, certain cuts have been made, notably technical appendices dealing with juridical matters, and all footnotes and detailed references. Material of more general interest from appendices and footnotes has been incorporated into the body of the text. Readers interested in the full text, including exact sources for quoted material, are referred to the French edition: Le Tribunal de l'Impuissance (Editions du Seuil, Paris, 1979)."
