Simon Garfunkel intervene.
An educator in his literary debut. A mix of true stories and intense meetings in a Psychiatric Hospital Service, with a common thread … care begins with the diagnosis but not in the report.
A unique professional experience as an educator in a psychiatric emergency department urgently.

The author considers himself a lucky collector of stories, because in his daily work of education and rehabilitative services at a psychiatric hospital, he meets people that even in the moment of greatest weakness of their psychological distress and existential, which endow it with new biographies, turning points, original interpretive keys.

The purpose of this book is to make public these “unexpected encounters” that the author experiences in the Psychiatric Diagnosis and Treatment Service where he works.

Even today in Italy, despite the Law 180, the so-called Law has abolished the asylums Basaglia and its practices, persist in certain services and health policies, intervention models that confine the stories to diagnose, label, nosology. In this approach adds a social perception of mental illness still distorted view sometimes as imponderable, bizarre and generating an alarm.

The stories are told in “Welcome to Psychiatry” are changing as well as the narrative style used. Sometimes they are fragments, other times they are evidence, diary, reflection, told in an ironic, dramatic or light or even self-reflexive.

They are narratives that are intended to stimulate emotions and thoughts to both operators and volunteers to young readers and adults susceptible. They are real stories of the many mornings spent “in conversation” in which to make original and deeply authentic, patients are hospitalized.
