"Historia magistra vitae": How is the psychiatric rehabilitation technician trained in psychiatry's history?

Abstract

Perceived on many levels of overall social life, anxieties are nowadays largely due to deep changes of the technological, economic and political structures and configurations of contemporary society. Thanks to a phenomenology of both individual and social life difficulties, this paper underlines the necessity of a cultural metamorphosis corresponding to such transformations in order to be able to cope with the spread of inhuman conditions. In this perspective - and also in relation to scholars such as Edgar Morin and Tim Ingold - this paper retraces the reasons for a "new civilization" capable of enhancing the singularities and the multiple specificities of the homo complexus, namely our reality as partial and open beings of relationship.
