Milan 1-8 September: documentary-photographic exhibition

The exhibition "Psychiatry and Human Rights: past, present and possible future" returns to Milan for the eleventh time. The exhibition covers the history of psychiatry from its dawn, through the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps, the failed reform of the 1970s, up to the new sociotherapeutic trends of the present day.

The underlying theme of the exhibition is respect for human rights in the mental health sector.

Events and news

Compared to past editions, this exhibition is enriched with a section dedicated to modern trends dictated by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the WHO for mental health that renounces prolonged coercion and sedation to adopt a sociotherapeutic perspective based on respect of human rights.

Not to be missed, within the exhibition, is the new photographic exhibition in 15 totems depicting the situation in Italian mental asylums in the 90s and some important cultural events, including the presentation of books and films in the presence of their respective authors.
