A Place of Safety?
episode 45 - New dilemmas as the Basaglia debate changes in the UK, plus thoughts on BPD...
29 MAR 2024 · In this episode, I discuss the new dilemmas I'm facing as the so called "Trieste model" increases its visibility across the UK. What should we do about activists who support the approach on paper, but end up advocating for its opposite in practice?
On top of this, I also talk about the abolition of the personality disorder label, particularly in relation to borderline personality disorder.
Episode 44 - Michael's story. A service user perspective on Scottish mental health services
5 SET 2023 · Michael joins Vincenzo to talk about his experience of mental health services in Scotland, over time. We discuss how services, by understanding suffering as a risk, end up caring mostly about dangerousness. This means that those in crisis are often met with a repressive approach, and those who are not considered dangerous are often met with a neglectful approach.
Episode 43, Sara London and the Performance Therapist
28 AGO 2023 · Sara London joins Vincenzo to disucuss her upcoming book: "The Performance Therapist and Authentic Therapeutic Identity: Coming Into Being".
We discuss why it's important in the current context, with psychotherapists having to measure themselves with a role that involves much more than just technical knowledge. We also discuss how the concepts of art and science are intertwined.

The Italian #mentalhealth reform, a Psychiatrist's perspective
18 DIC 2022 · Dr Micol Ascoli and I meet again to discuss the principles and history behind "law 180" and the Italian mental health reform, as well as its content and how it works. We discuss how it's different from UK legislation and what other systems could learn from it. Vincenzo has already introduced this topic in episode 10, so that episode is a good introduction to this one. On this occasion, Micol offers an important perspective on this, as a Psychiatrist who has knowledge of both the British and Italian mental health systems.
Episode 41 - The functions of bureaucracy in British #mentalhealth institutions
20 NOV 2022 · British and Italian Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist Micol Ascoli joins Vincenzo to talk about her experience of working in Uk mental health services, and about how we both experienced moving from a Basaglian background and system in Italy to the UK context. This conversation happens in the context of a range of mental health care scandals which have been recently in the news in the Uk. Bureaucracy is an interesting lens through which the crisis, and the system's response to it, can be understood.
Episode 40 - Franco Basaglia, Multi-Stakeholding and Political Economy
15 NOV 2022 · Jerome joins Vincenzo to talk about his interest in ways of organising the economy that are based on cooperation. During his studies, Jerome became unsatisfied with traditional economic structures and interested in alternatives. Italian social co-operatives were a very interesting example to Jerome and this brought him to learn about Basaglia's interest in using them to build alternative system to the asylum in the community.

Episode 39 - Play therapy and the system's expectations, a conversation with Sydney Conroy
17 LUG 2022 · Sydney Conroy, Phd student at Cambridge University, joins me to discuss how hard science, the medical model and the system's expectations affect practicing play therapy with children. We also discuss differences between her experience of the US and how the system works in the UK, and much more!
