Abstract

<p>The works of Italian ethnologist Ernesto de Martino (1908–1965) are read among Italian clinicians of mental health working with international migrants. He is well known for having applied the ethnology of Benedetto Croce’s (1866–1952) historicism, in which everything is interpreted according to its relations to historical processes, and having tried to reform the 40’s natural scientific viewpoint of social evolutionary ethnology to innovate Westerners’ selves. His concepts, presented through research on mental conditions of so-called “savages” or subalterns, serve as references for understanding international migrants as “Others” and suggests ways to rethink modern Western psychiatry. By reading de Martino, Italian clinicians may try to provide mental health services based on historicism.</p>
