History of psychiatry December 1, 2023 Filippo Besana 2 citations
Danilo Cargnello was a major figure in Italian phenomenological psychopathology, first writing on the subject in 1947-48. He introduced and spread Binswanger's ideas in Italy, emphasizing the anthropological nature of Daseinsanalyse. His book on experimental psychosis is a key psychopathological report of substance-induced psychosis. Keeping knowledge of such phenomenological authors alive is clinically and psychopathologically important, and their teachings should be integrated into professional training.
