  • A Comparative Sociological Investigation of the Conceptions and Perceptions of Mental Health and Illness in Arica, Chile and Rome, Italy
    A Comparative Sociological Investigation of the Conceptions and Perceptions of Mental Health and Illness in Arica, Chile and Rome, Italy Researcher: Nelly-Ange Kontchou B.A. Candidate in Combined Spanish & Italian Studies, Duke University Advisors: Dr. Luciana Fellin & Professor Richard Rosa Abstract This comparative study aimed to discover the principal factors that influence the perceptions of citizens in Arica, Chile and Rome, Italy toward mental illness. Specifically, the study aimed to investigate how these perceptions affect the societal acceptance of mentally ill individuals and to identify potential sources of stigma. In both cities, mental health services exist for free use by citizens, but stigma makes the use of these services and the acceptance of those who use them somewhat taboo. Past studies on the topic of mental health stigma have investigated the barriers to accessing mental health services (Acuña & Bolis 2005), the inception and effects of Basaglia’s Law (Tarabochia 2011), strategies to combat stigma (López et al. 2008) and images of mental illness in the media (Stout, Villeagas & Jennings 2004). To discover Aricans’ opinions on mental health and illness, personal interviews were administered to five mental health professionals, and a 20-question survey was administered to 131 members of the general population. In Rome, 27 subjects answered an 18-question survey as well as an interview, and 12 professionals participated in narrative interviews. From these interviews and surveys, the lack of economic, structural and human resources to effectively manage mental health programs was gleaned. Moreover, many participants identified how stigma infringed upon the human rights of those with mental illnesses and opined that they were barely accepted in society.

  • The Cultural Repertoire of Franco Basaglia and the Comparative Critique of Psychiatry
    ORIGINAL PAPER THE CULTURAL REPERTOIRE OF FRANCO BASAGLIA AND THE COMPARATIVE CRITIQUE OF PSYCHIATRY Giovanni Matera, PhD1 ISSN: 2283-8961 Abstract Can we consider Franco Basaglia as “the man who closed the asylums” or would it be more appropriate to refer to him as the spokesperson of a large group of professionals and instances? My thesis underlines the collective work carried out by a group of psychiatric professionals in the 1960s and the 1970s. Their acknowledgement of experiences drawing from different cultural repertoires allowed them to transform psychiatric services into a democratic institution. The paper develops through three sections which help us to understand the connection between the work of Basaglia and other western countries, especially France. 1) The circulation of knowledge among western countries has contributed to the production of “cultural repertoires of evaluation” available in all these western countries in an uneven way but based on a common sense of injustice. 2) Drawing from the work of sociologist Robert Castel, I will examine the relation between the group of Basaglia and the “secteur” model, available in France since the end of the Second World War. 3) I will eventually analyze some 1 Sociologist, associate member at Centre Georg Simmel – EHESS [email protected] Rivista di Psichiatria e Psicoterapia Culturale, Vol. VIII, n. 2, Novembre 2020 The cultural repertoire of Franco Basaglia 2 G Matera interviews released in the 1970s in which Franco Basaglia and his colleagues discuss the connection between their experiments and the ones conducted in other western countries.

  • Psychiatric Hospital of Gorizia
    Assembling memories and affective practices around the psychiatric history of Gorizia: A study of a remembering crisis Ph.D. Thesis Elena Trivelli Ph.D. Candidate Department of Media and Communications Goldsmiths University University of London I declare that this thesis is my own work, based on my personal research, and that I have acknowledged all material and sources used in its preparation. I also declare that this thesis has not previously been submitted for assessment in any other unit, and that I have not copied in part or whole or otherwise plagiarised the work of others. Signature Date 2 THESIS ABSTRACT This thesis examines the vicissitudes around psychiatric practice in the Italian city of Gorizia, from the 1960s to the present day. It addresses the work of alternative psychiatry initiated by Franco Basaglia in the city, in the early 1960s, and how this work has been remembered in the local community across the decades. It is an interdisciplinary qualitative case study research based on an ethnography I conducted in Gorizia between 2011 and 2012, which has primarily involved archival research, formal interviews and informal conversations with some of the protagonists of psychiatric deinstitutionalisation in the city. I analyse how elements such as narratives around ‘Basaglia in Gorizia’, public events and health care approaches, as well as the state of several locales and resources in official archives, are informed by fractured and contrasting understandings of the meaning of ‘the Basaglia experience’, and I frame such cleavages in terms of a ‘remembering crisis’. Within the scarcity of historical research that has been conducted on the psychiatric history of Gorizia, I suggest that these cleavages are crucial for an analysis of the cyclical erasures, rewritings and forms of ‘removal’ that are structural features in remembering ‘the Basaglia experience’ in the city.

  • Antipsychiatry As the Stigma
    Psychiatria Danubina, 2017; Vol. 29, Suppl. 5, pp S890-894 Conference paper © Medicinska naklada - Zagreb, Croatia ANTIPSYCHIATRY AS THE STIGMA Izet Pajević & Mevludin Hasanović Department of Psychiatry University Clinical Center Tuzla, School of Medicine University of Tuzla, Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina SUMMARY The authors presents their perspectives on the relationship between antipsychiatry and the stigma of mental illness. The present paper aims to provide a short review of the basic principles of the antipsychiatric movement, and to discuss the atitudes of its most important theorists. The authors searched recent literature, as well as drawing upon some of the basic antipsychiatric texts. Antipsychiatry dates from 18th century, and as an international movement it emerged during the 1960s as part of the historic tumult of the period rather than as a result of the evolution of scientific ideas. During that period psychiatrists began to see heredity as the cause of mental illness, became pessimistic about restoring patients to sanity, and adopted essentially a custodial approach to care that included use of physical restraints. Radical attitudes of antipsychiatry gave a significant incentive to review psychiatric theory and practice, especially with protecting the rights of mental patients and giving importance not only to somatic, but mental, social and spiritual sides of human existence. But, at the same time, they led to unwarranted attacks on psychiatry as a medical discipline, encouraged different views of its stigmatization and in a certain measure affected the weakening of social awareness about the importance of medical and institutional care for the mentally ill persons. After the 1970s, the antipsychiatry movement became increasingly less influential, due in particular to the rejection of its politicized and reductionistic understanding of psychiatry.

  • From Basaglia to Brazil
    MAD MARGINAL Cahier #1 FRoM BAsaglia to BRAzIL A book by Dora García Published by Mousse Published by Mousse 1 WoRkING toGetheR BetWeeN As part of the Trentoship and Trento.link projects, Dora García’s workshop at Fondazione Galleria Civica di Trento is MADNess AND MARGINALIty one step in a symbolic path, one which has led the museum to examine an elsewhere and an other that can be found, moreover, at the threshold of the museum itself: by investigating the “public dimension”, the intimately “social” role - open-ended, interactive and narrative - of the contemporary cultural institution, Dora García presents the institution with a snapshot of itself, in all of its idiosyncrasies, contradictions, and inhibitions, comparing its hypothetical agenda to its real, day-to-day priorities, revealing its aspect of pure potentiality, showing how it hovers between a chronicle of action and a (vital) need to constantly reinvent itself. Dora García’s work is structured around unconventional formats of a conceptual nature: texts, photographs, and installations, conceived for specific spaces at the institutions where she works. Often employing performance and participatory forms of art, she explores the relationship between artist, work, and viewer, presenting the various facets of a world that is, indeed, more potential than real, incorporating many layers of interpretation and experience. The workshop proposed by the artist serves as an introduction to the ongoing project “Mad Marginal”, presenting its first outgrowths (the film The Deviant Majority and this publication, Mad Marginal Cahier #1: From Basaglia to Brazil). Opening up a debate on the three main elements of the “Mad Marginal” project – radical politics, radical art, radical psychiatry - the workshop, along with this film and book, will offer an opportunity for reflecting on the many different theories and research tools that the Andrea Viliani artist employs in her work.
