title: [Power and freedom of the human person, particularly in the mental disease].
abstract: The more weapons medicine acquires to cure man, the more intractable problems related to medical ethics become. That is particularly true in psychiatry, where the "consenso informato" has been constantly on the carpet, that is the patient is to be previously informed of the pros and cons of the treatment chosen and his consent is a sine qua non. This issue is dramatically hot in Italy where the conflict between organic psychiatry and territorial psychiatry has reached a new high. This study is an attempt to some light on the question and of course it favours the patient's right to be cured, pushing aside any ideology.
