Inseparable in dealing with madness, psychiatry and psychoanalysis should not exclude each other, but rather enrich one another. This is the position of Francesca Biagi-Chai, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.

In her interview with two psychologists, Francesca Biagi-Chai answers numerous questions about psychosis and its treatment. What do we know today about this mental disorder? What does it teach us about our society and ourselves? What changes must the hospital undergo to provide the best possible care?

Based on extensive clinical experience, Francesca Biagi-Chai addresses both therapists and patients and their loved ones precisely and clearly. Presenting numerous patient cases, she explains how the "day hospitalization," which she created at the Paul Girod hospital, works, constituting a major advancement. A hospitalization that, paradoxically, frees the patient from confinement and, fully respecting their individual journey, opens for them a "beyond the walls."
