摘要：Abstract: Franco Basaglia (1924-1980) was a key figure in the anti-asylum movement in Italy and became a strategic leader aimed at eliminating asylums in the world, from his work in Gorizia until his death on August 29, 1980, in Venice. However, the origins of the construction of his thinking in terms of phenomenology, are little explored in the texts found on the Brazilian psychiatric reform. In the context of construction and reevaluation in which the Brazilian mental health policy is, it is relevant to know epistemologically the thinking of this psychiatrist to better support this construction. Based on his original writings, the present study contemplates the investigation of Franco Basaglia's life, work and struggles during his journey to complete the project to close the Trieste asylum and the Law number 180.
