Abstract

Whilst introducing the articles that have been published in the Fall issue of Il sogno della farfalla, the author highlights the extremely complex period the psychiatrists and psychologists who promote this journal have been going through since last February, when Massimo Fagioli, who is the main reference figure of the journal, passed away. For instance, this sorrowful event is engaging them at two different levels. On the one hand, just like all the other people who have taken part to Analisi collettiva, and without any ‘caste’ privileges, they must personally face a painful separation and, on the other, in their role as psychotherapists with a robust clinical experience, they must examine and comprehend the reactions of their patients and of the social environment.
