LOVE AND CARE. THE IMPRINT OF THE HUMAN

Luigina Mortari, professor of the Philosophy of Care, Università di Verona and author of Etica della cura (Ed. Vita e Pensiero); Giovanni Stanghellini, psychiatrist and psychotherapist, author of L’amore che cura (Ed. Feltrinelli). Moderated by Mario Ballantini, psychiatrist, former director of the Department of Mental Health and Addictions of Sondrio

A hand tucking in a blanket, a voice that stays close when it could leave. That is where everything begins, before methods and protocols. Giovanni Stanghellini calls this way of being with those who suffer “love”. Recognized individually, never reduced to a clinical case. Luigina Mortari pushes further: care is the very matter we are made of. We become what we devote time, attention, and presence to.
