Abstract:
The notion of dignity is not synonymous with autonomous freedom (autonorma). It has an objective dimension, which is based on the individual's belonging to humanity. This is often neglected in psychiatry, even though it is what leads to the universal prevailing over singular preferences when a value specific to the human condition and to the suffering that inhabits it is at stake. To be of this universality while being a clinic of singularity representes the nobility of psychiatry and its vocation to make mental health live.
