Aims

- to open the systemic perspective towards the study of the psychopathological displays

Main themes

This course lies in a bio-psycho-social perspective of the illness:
- it first describes how the human system surrounding the ill person constitutes an actual organisation with its own functioning and obeying specific aims often different of the aims of the person.
- it the describes how this societal organisation turned rigid is correlated with the psychological and the biological.
