The law that abolished mental asylums in Italy in 1978 was nicknamed the ‘Basaglia Law’, after the physician whose work had revolutionised psychiatry in Italy and worldwide: Franco Basaglia (1924-1980). This book shows that his work is still powerful and relevant to contemporary debates about biopolitics.
