returned almost by chance on the words of Vincent , on which I had already stopped to think not too long ago in a project italonorvegese (still in progress ) on mental health, and I could not do less than a dear old riproporvi methodological problem.
Several times I found myself sharing the phenomenological approaches, both in psychology in the social sciences, convinced that the work has on the uniqueness of the lanes for the removal of the causes of human problems, and therefore also less standardized methodology can better tailored to the needs of the object of study without compromising any compelling finding of the so-called "scientist".
But come now at a crossroads, with the need, that is, to make a choice, I realize that it is the classic definition of a scholar who I have to leave if I want to change the point of view.
Mental health is an area very touching and compelling, because, unless you stay on an extremely surface, it forces you to face and understand your fantasies and prejudices before they can even "understand" the other really.
With a look a tad Weber - passatemela ... Indeed I take this opportunity to share one of my objects of veneration ^ _ ^ - starting with the fact that the real poblem is understanding. E - immediately reveal who the murderess - passes through understanding and articulates the problem of injury and then the stigma, and of its appurtenances.
There are "cases" that I could not say if more movingly or more fortunate, who have given their mental illness through art. Or something that the company identified as such. For them, it seemed to me, and I could mention Van Gogh or Cezanne as known cases, that the scientific debate has allowed the most easy to put up a phenomenological approach to the problem. Not only that in their common sentiment seemed to be different with a contingency which can be expected to cope when you're an artist.
In other words, the great artists aflitti from mental illness had a chance more of their "mental equivalent" (if it was that we can make an equivalence between minds ... it is a simplification), a minimum reserve of dignity Unbreakable. And access to at least some "social rituals" (an Italian example may be the life of Ligabue ).
But for all the "Vincent" hospitalized, neglected until there is no other answer except the TSO (and for the good of whom? Of the "patient" or those around him?), Isolated forgotten by family, friends, from welfare, those who are willing to listen to? Who will assume the role of fully accept instances, the point of view?
We hope diminishes the traditional scientific positions (or to defer consideration of those that re-propose a new way, for example this ), which Members of scholars to collect instances of these privileged witnesses to stop adapting the content - the lives of psychiatric patients - the container - the science, and understand the importance of adapting quite the container to the content?
Thirty years ago, an ill-channeled enthusiasm post- Goffmann led many experts ( Basaglia in the forefront as regards the 'Italy) to retract everything reforms carpet (even without the financial resources to implement them) , renegotiation of the doctor-patient relationship (if you happen to watch the documentary film San Clemente, a French production that was able to catch the cultural and political climate of L.180 Basaglia the intercession of the same) ... but in the meantime, the ill-disposition towards users of mental health, social distrust, or, to put the right words, the stigma , I'm really failed?
certainly many - especially the so-called people - have thought that "other" would finally listened to their reasons . After so many years and many trials, however, the feeling is that there is still a long way to go and that if the scientific world (the one that I believe has more responsibility and depression in the conditioning of thoughts and practices of common sense ) will not change course, taking the conclusions of song McLean, Perhaps They Never Will .
