Law 180. Gloria Gary
Yesterday at 18:23
Law 180, which came after the divorce and before the 194, is the product and the legacy of an era. The perfect representation. Not for nothing that today there are signs of a rethinking of these laws is a political gesture that tends to erase the culture that these laws represent. According to Sarkozy 'The 68 replaced the duty with the law', moving the button on selfishness'. What greater sense of duty to those who imagine they can subvert the very concepts of health and illness, normality and monstrosity? There was a great spirit of dedication because a group of psychiatrists thought to make people accept as the 'cases' that had appeared to see the man and not the crowds, to cure it instead of deleting it, or relegate him medicated and bombarded it with electricity. The law was passed in 78. Moro was the year of the crime, the law on abortion, murder Impastato. Terrorism, mafia and civil wars.
Italy was a country that could, nevertheless, to look beyond.
Close the hell out. Or closing themselves in, but this situation needs a door to separate themselves from the damned. Yet there is an elsewhere that is beyond the threshold, another place where we meet another, just what in hell of Sartre (the enfer c'est les autres), obliges us to look unforgiving of others, which look and looking at us, which will be contaminated by our emotions and beliefs, reduced to the photograph of a very very subjective.
Disrtruggendo injury asylum, our country gave up the social control by favoring the principle of the will and the dignity of the person, his psyche, that sick or healthy, has its own state, which, as a state, could be transient.
On 13 May 1978, he wrote the ending of a sad and painful story, full of monsters and witches, spells and prisons.
As every fairy tale ends with the triumph of good, freedom and love.
The citizen, who suffers from cancer or depression, is and remains a citizen, one person, one individual who deserves to be treated as such.
Why shut the door?
for plague victims from the ghettos to the monasteries, houses of mercy for the beggars and the wretched of the earth, and then to asylums to mental hospitals, the only common denominator is the need to move away from the rest of the world ' individual, who by his mere presence causes to the community 'respectable disgust, annoyance, perhaps infection. The
mental institutions were useful to the established order, the power was in need of a safe place to lock up not only the 'guilty', but also that In his mode of existence, was itself a danger and a disgrace.
But the law, this law as a shield can protect all the mistakes that a science, with still many open questions and too many uncertainties, it could produce. In 1978, the 180 began to play that role forever closing the doors of the asylums.
not we open that door again. We are all out for 30 years and is still here in this size and with str, into a new space: it is the territory that doctors and nurses will have to choose a new role, but no more restraining and controlling operational and purposeful, therapeutic, the company can no longer think of solving a wall diversity is not accepted. To those so-called 'sick' is the path to the institutionalization of the personal and social sense of time, picking up their lives, their personal and social identity, to experience the choice of sleep and leisure, ' commitment and entertainment, personal care and creativity and all this will take shape outside the walls.
E 'for this reason that doctors and social workers, along with their families must come up with' life plans', Pathways to integration, a different way to approach the person with difficulty, to propose ways and spaces, and entertainment rules, commitments and free time activities. Everything must be presented as pleasant and acceptable, other than that life which has wounded and frightened. The challenge is launched. The doctors, who must treat this case differently, are engaged in a therapeutic process more proactive and ultimately rewarding. Why people with mental health problems, including in their delirium, there is a lot of imagination, creativity and love that are only channeled well.
Everybody out: doctors, patients, family members, nurses, volunteers, assistants, educators, 'normal', other politicians, administrators. We are all out, out into the street like balconies prosthesis to follow the course of events, to bear the historical weather courses and resorts. We are here, after 30 years, to talk about mental illness, mental illness, insanity, or maybe we promise a utopia for the world. From this location we can only look to our future, life is a temporal process irreversible, it is impossible to go back, plan a return to the past is against history.
There is still the future and the future is now. The mental illness is an uncomfortable position, by its nature ambiguous and vague, as are the colors of sunrise and sunset that blend and confuse us.
It excites us. sometimes leaving us breathless with joy or pain: a day that is born or dies a day, normal or diversity, health or illness.
E 'difficult, but possible.
It takes research, passion, attention, study, availability, and a pinch of creativity.
Does not that prove worthy of civilian workers, advanced, and capable?
It's worth it.

Law 180, Findings and voluntary and mandatory medical treatment of 13 May 1978, better known as Law Basaglia (from its promoter in the field of psychiatry, Mark Levy MD) is a popular and important framework law that imposed the closure of asylums Regulation and the mandatory medical treatment, establishing the public mental health services. Subsequently, the Law merged into Law 833/78 of 23 December 1978, which instituted the National Health Service.
The law was a real cultural revolution and medical assistance, based on new (and more "human") psychiatric concepts, promoted and tested in Italy by Franco Dr.
Before then, the asylums were little more than places of physical restraint, which is applied each method of restraint and heavy drug and invasive treatments, or electroconvulsive therapy (which is sometimes still used).

Law 180 demandò implementation to the Regions, which legislate in a heterogeneous, producing varied results in the area. In 1978 only 55% of the Italian provinces there was a public psychiatric hospital, while the rest of the country we made use of private hospitals (18%) or structures of other provinces (27%) Indeed, only after 1994, with the Project Objective and the rationalization of mental health care system to be activated at the national level, was completed the actual closing of mental hospitals in Italy.
