title: [Franco Basaglia: a conveyor of contradictions].
abstract: The thinking of Franco Basaglia helps to improve understanding of the complexity of the relationships between theory and practice. Medicine must be thought out on the basis of the political organisation where it is situated and the psychiatric institution reflects an organisation founded on exclusion. It is essential to re-establish a place for an individual's difference in psychiatric practice. The challenge is to enable the patient to emerge as a subject.
