Nise da Silveira - Encontros

Encontros (Meetings) is the largest and most prestigious book collection of interviews with Brazilian artists and thinkers. With more than 50 published titles, Encontros provides a broad panorama of Brazil's cultural and intellectual wealth. Nise da Silveira is one of the most fascinating and restless Brazilian personalities. As a psychiatrist, she started a revolutionary work based on her non-conformism with the psychiatric practices used in the 1950s, such as electroshock, insulin therapy, lobotomy and confinement. Humanistic and libertarian, her work has achieved international recognition for the creation of the Museum of Images of the Unconscious and the Casa da Palmeiras. This book brings together, in the voice of Nise herself, her ideas and personal trajectory.
