Reportage from within a psychiatric asylum in Italy. A denunciation of the conditions of people in mental hospitals during the sixties. The text is written by Franco Basaglia, an italian psychiatrist who fought against the psychiatric institutions at that time. He wanted to create medical places more democratic and human, defending the rights of psychiatric patients.
