I am pleased to introduce MAGMA Hub, a medical humanities hub created and directed by me within CIDP (Italian Centre for Personality Disorders).
The intent is to open an interdisciplinary dialogue to create a space where new methodologies and ways of expression can be explored and created to help patients find their voice in dealing with illness and the trauma it brings, which is not always part of the therapeutic process.
The integration of medicine and treatment, humanities and art can improve people's health and wellbeing by overcoming limitations, contexts and socio-cultural inequalities. They become a mode of expression, methodology, therapy, and a means through which new forms of expression can be created to overcome the stigma and isolation with which the disease is often associated.
