It provides traditional forms of care for people with serious mental illness, but it does so in a uniquely supportive environment where patients and caregivers participate equally in the day-to-day operations of the clinic. The driving force of La Chesnaie is the \"Club,\" a nonprofit organization serving as a liaison between the clinic and the outside world. It arranges cultural and recreational outings for the patients as well as activities like concerts and exhibitions that bring the public to La Chesnaie. As a result, days at the clinic are quite lively and never routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Aurélien Ducoudray and illustrator Jeff Pourquié immersed themselves for a time in the culture of La Chesnaie. Like everyone there, including the patients, supervisors, and caregivers, they took part in the daily chores of the clinic, cooking and cleaning. They participated in group events and even led a comics workshop to teach the residents about their craft. \u003ci\u003eThe Third Population\u003c\/i\u003e is the engaging, inspiring, and often poignantly funny result of this project. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Third Population\u003c\/i\u003e is a sensitive and uncompromising portrayal of daily life in this singular psychiatric health facility where patients are encouraged to build human relationships in spite of the difficulties that mental illness can pose. As the supervisors and caregivers take part in the daily activities of their patients, differences are erased and empathic bonds are formed, with the result that sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the patients from the caregivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAurélien Ducoudray\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of numerous documentary comics and graphic novels, including the prize-winning \u003ci\u003eAmère Russie\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eClichés de Bosnie\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eChampionzé Une histoire de Battling Siki\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJeff Pourquié \u003c\/strong\u003eis an artist and a gypsy jazz guitarist.
