Abstract

Franco Basaglia's work is the cornerstone of the radical psychiatric movement in Italy. This culminated in the "Basaglia Law" of 1978, which aimed to abolish closed psychiatric institutions. In addition to becoming a symbolic place of movement, Trieste is still trying to preserve and put into practice the Basaglian tradition. The organization called Polisportiva Fuoric'entro implements the integration of marginalized people and groups through various sports activities. Based on the example of this foreign "good practice", the initiative in Pécs aimed at organizing and developing a football team of psychiatric patients.
