The historical archive of the former neuropsychiatric hospital of Arezzo: some instructions in an educational key for health and care professionals
Abstract
The University of Siena preserves the historical archive of the former neuropsychiatric hospital of Arezzo (1901-1990) with the aim of conserving, rearranging, studying and enhancing the material (administrative, medical, audiovisual, iconographic) present therein. The article reflects on the possible "educational use" of this plurality of materials and on the need for the Archive to continue to be defined as a space for multidisciplinary research-intervention for all those subjects (especially health and care professionals) interested to know and explore the relationship between mental illness and mental hospital confinement.
