Abstract
This contribution is inspired by the experience of conducting a therapeutic group for adult patients within a medium security psychiatric community in Milan. Using some session excerpts, a close connection is established between affirmation of identity of individuals and the group, along with freedom of expression, as the Read more
Abstract
This paper intends to question how the contemporary predominant medical paradigm can understand and consider psychosis and as it builds its therapeutic care systems.

Tedaldi, offers an iconic description based on visual, universal and immediate symbols that words don’t always have. The second paper of A. Iannotta refers to what Lacan discerns in the incisiveness of visual experience as a solution to language’s ambiguity. In Hobelin’s painting The ambassadors the discovering of an Read more
