La tesi di dottorato si propone di esaminare gli sviluppi della legislazione in materia di salute mentale nel contesto del modello sanitario italiano. La salute mentale, e in particolare la condizione giuridica delle persone affette da sofferenza mentale, costituisce un osservatorio privilegiato per analizzare e far emergere, con le risorse che la prospettiva costituzionalistica ci offre, le contraddizioni ancora insite nell’ordinamento, la difficoltà di declinare entro forme di tutela effettiva determinati diritti, ma anche le linee evolutive, nel campo dei diritti civili e sociali, che hanno inteso restituire dignità sociale ai ‘folli’. In tali termini, il percorso di analisi che si è inteso intraprendere è volto a vagliare i tratti frastagliati e complessi del tema della salute mentale attraverso alcuni principi propri del lessico costituzionalistico e le ricadute che hanno caratterizzato il contesto normativo italiano.

Abstract

This PhD thesis explores the mental health’s legislation and attempts to identify ways of redirecting the Italian model. We can affirm that the constitutional rights constitute guarantees orientated to protecting certain values or fundamental goods to reach a worthy life; being the maximum expression of the dignity it humanizes. In this respect we will raise the first axis of analysis with the relation between mental health and constitutional rights in the strict field of the investigation. Based on personalist model, will be proposed an analysis of the psychiatric deinstitutionalization process carried out in Italy, from the decade of the 80s, after the approval of the Psychiatric Reform. Based on the right to health, it is proposed to speak of “right to have rights” (diritto ad avere diritti), that is to say, the right of mentally ill people to be helped, day after day, in the enterprise to reconquer the own personality, the honor, the privacy, the image and the personal identity. The Mental Health Act, adopted in Italy in 1978, is considered as point of renew and strengthen opportunities, obligations, duties, which may fulfill the purposes set out in the regulatory framework, which has as its foundation and the human recipient and thus the satisfaction of all their needs and rights, so that in this form, is integrated into their life experience, benefit and personal, social and cultural experiences aiming to progress and achievement.
