The power of images and the poetics of care: from concepts to existential morphologies
Listen to this summary
This paper by Giovanni Stanghellini explores the role of images in psychiatric care, questioning how they can bridge the gap between sensation and concept in therapeutic settings. The author argues for an 'and-both' framework that values both conceptual communication among clinicians and the engagement with patients' lived experiences through images, emphasizing the need to keep these images dynamic and transformative to foster healing. Ultimately, the study advocates for a shift in psychiatry towards a poetics of recognition, where meaning is co-created in the therapeutic relationship.
