Integrated history in a psychiatric ward.
The present study begins from the hypothesis that the psychiatric admission can be considered to be, in many cases, a symptomatical act in which the patient, his family, the relational context that sends him and the institution as a whole take part. Such hypothesis has become necessary at the moment of the request for hospitalization, together with news from the patient and from his context about: the sender, the motivations, the type of request, the type of the insufficiency-urgency it is responding, the phenomenon of the "presenting disturbance", a greater definition of the problem by everyone... This work will have the object to look for a correlation between the course of the illness and the life cycle, to attempt to give a historicity of the crisis and the request of the hospitalization, too often presented, lived, received and cured as historically closed.
