Recently experienced events, as the pandemic, conflicts, migratory movements, climatic catastrophes, have induced the perception of being again and dramatically “faced with the extreme”. Historically, these events are not exceptional but in our personal and short-term perspective they often represent completely new experiences: which kind of impact can they have on each and all of us? Mental health seems to be an extremely precarious balance: where uncertainty arises, its precariousness increases.

The search for meaning re-emerges as the core of such experiences: the work on interiority can also refer to philosophy, ethics and spirituality within the practices and dynamics of care and in the care of the self.

Abstract
Recently experienced events, as the pandemic, conflicts, migratory movements, climatic catastrophes, have induced the perception of being again and dramatically “faced with the extreme”. Historically, these events are not exceptional but in our personal and short-term perspective they often represent completely new experiences: which kind of impact can they have on each and all of us? Mental health seems to be an extremely precarious balance: where uncertainty arises, its precariousness increases. How do we tend to redefine in these circumstances our perception of health and wellbeing? The search for meaning re-emerges as the core of such experiences: the work on interiority can also refer to philosophy, ethics and spirituality within the practices and dynamics of care and in the care of the self.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
