"La Cura" is one of the tracks in Franco Battiato's L'Imboscata album (1996), the 19th published by the Italian composer and songwriter, who died 3 years ago. In the lyrics several references to psychiatric terminology appear. The purpose of this article is to consider the lyrics of the song from psychodynamic and mental health care perspectives and offer associations that reflect the process of forming a therapeutic alliance with patients.
