Life and career
Giovanni Stanghellini was born in Siena (Italy) on July 29, 1960. He qualified as a doctor in medicine and specialized in Psychiatry at Florence University. He worked as a consultant psychiatrist from 1990 untill 2004 at the Mental Health Services of Florence before he became professor in Chieti. He is now a psychiatrist and psychotherapist based in Florence. Since the early 1990s, Stanghellini has been studying philosophy next to psychopathology contributing to the growing discipline of philosophy of psychiatry – with the aim of understanding everyday existence of people affected by mental disorders not only in clinical but also in philosophical and anthropological terms. The overall programme of his research and practice is to find an answer to the question What it is like to suffer from mental disorders?
In 1995 he spent a trimester at the Psychiatric Clinic in Heidelberg University where he contributed to reaserch on the vulnerability to major depression (melancholic type of personality).
In 2003 he spent one year at the Psychiatric Clinic in Copenhagen University. In this period he completed his monograph Disembodied Spirits and Deanimated Bodies (Oxford University Press) on schizophrenia and manic-depression as disorders of common sense.
Since 2013 he is Profesor Adjuncto at “D. Portales” University (Centro de Estudios de Fenomenologia) in Santiago Chile.
He teaches Dymanic Psychology and Psychopathology at Chieti University and in several other psychiatric institutions, facilities and post-graduate courses for psychiatrists and clinical psychologists in Italy and abroad.
Research and teaching activities
Life-World Project
Prof. Stanghellini cooperates in an International project called Life-World Project, involving several institutions and researchers all over the world, whose aim is the description of the “worlds” inhabited by persons affected by severe mental disorders. His main interests are the ways these persons experience time, space, their own body and other persons, as well as their emotions and values.
Phenomenological-Dynamic Psychotherapy
Building on and extending the legacies of clinical phenomenology, hermeneutics and psychoanalysis he developed a method for psychotherapy called the P.H.D., providing the practical guidelines for performing phenomenological-dynamic psychotherapy. The practice of care that derives from this is based on the integration of three basic dispositives, synthesised in the acronym P.H.D. – bringing together Phenomenology (systematic knowledge of the abnormal phenomena that affect the patient.), Hermeneutics (grasping the way the patient interprets or makes sense of his own experiences) and Psycho-dynamics (tracing back the patient’s experiences and actions and her world-view to the life-history in which they are embedded).
