Verified profile

Photography seemed to give an answer to psychiatry's need to anchor its hypotheses and certainties to the image, to the body. The British doctor Morison, as early as 1840, was comparing images of the same subject, sick and then cured. The neurologist Charchot photographed the sick to study the relationship between disease and somatic traits, on the basis of theories similar to those of Lombroso. At the end of the 19th century, the director Tamburini introduced photography to the San Lazzaro, which also became a model for this reason. The instruments and 1500 images of patients, buildings and scenes of life and work are preserved.
