Jean-Pierre Falret

[1] In 1811 he began his medical studies in Paris, where he was inspired by the work of Philippe Pinel (1745–1826) and Jean Étienne Dominique Esquirol (1772–1840).

His son Jules Falret (1824-1902), with psychiatrist Ernest-Charles Lasègue (1816–1883), identified a shared psychotic disorder sometimes referred to as "Lasègue-Falret syndrome" (folie à deux).

[4] Today the Le Centre Hospitalier Jean-Pierre Falret is a psychiatric hospital system serving the department of Lot.
