“We must remember that psychiatric suffering exists, and that services in an area are needed to deal with it and accompany it. And therefore we must organize them and make them arise where they do not exist and make them work where they do exist”. This was underlined today by Alberta Basaglia, psychologist and president of the Basaglia Archive, presenting the events organized for the centenary of the birth of her father Franco Basaglia. Regarding the meetings promoted for the anniversary “it is important – he adds – to remember what happened, to remember that before there were mental hospitals, there were people closed and segregated, and now these horrors no longer exist and no one thinks that it is necessary to restore them.
We try to remember the centenary with the intelligence work of the person, we believe that it is right to remember a person who in some way symbolized a struggle that was nevertheless collective”.
