Beschreibung

The essay leads the reader in a colloquial and informal way, but at the same time yet rigorous, through the meanders of the relationship between "normal/crazy". On one side the patient, on the other the nurse; on the background the same social context by which both of them are being evaluated. The analysis of the madness through a social and multidisciplinary view. A light dancing through different disciplines in order to better taste the strong flavor of the madness in the patient and its bitter-sweet aftertaste in the nurse.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I cannot begin without thanking people who do not even know how deeply I feel indebted to them. A multi-disciplinary approach to the topic makes me thank many people, most of all to two of them: the nurse Claudio and the technician Simone Magi. I would also like to express my gratitude to prof. Desideri and to prof. Nocentini for giving me a brilliant example of academic research; to prof. Brilli for the care with which he devoted himself to the teaching of mathematics, and to prof. Cincilla for his lectures (and the teaching methods used) at the time of the high school. A special thanks to all the extended family and to the two newcomers: Enrico Bertoni and Nicoleta Gherghina. A special thanks to Veronica Massi, Francesca Massi, Andrea Tanci, and last but not the least, Georgiana Gherghina, for the unfailing support. I would like to thank all the students to whom I have had the pleasure to teach in the past two years (a profession that initially I did not want to undertake), the few students of Besta, the many of Mazzotti and the crepuscular students of the evening course of Sirius. I'd love to name them all, one by one, but because of space problems I postpone this to a different context (which for sure will not be the assigning of the final grades ...) and I confine myself in thanking them collectively.

Finally allow me to thank all those people who I can no longer touch with these hands.
