The Human Birth Theory in the cure of psychosis: an international dialogue

Abstract

This article introduces a special issue of the journal which includes the papers inspired by the Human Birth Theory presented during the 9th International Conference on Early Psychosis (Tokyo 2014) and the 19th International Congress of the International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis (New York 2015). The author reconstructs the diffusion of Massimo Fagioli’s theory out of Italy from its origins to its most recent developments, in the context of the ascent and decline of organicist psychiatry.
