This article traces an anthropological itinerary through “mental health” and “territo- ry”, following the scienti c work and teaching of Tullio Seppilli (1928-2017). Seppilli’s interpretations concerning the anti-institutional democratic movement and the psy- chiatric reform in Italy are an excellent guide in order to analyze the relationships between mental suffering, community styles of work and social contexts. Along this di- rection, within a historical and international perspective, the article traces some steps of the anti-institutional movements in Italy and recent debates, which represent their continuation in a global landscape. The path through mental health in the territories allows us to question social change, collective action and the production of subjectivity.

Abstract
This article traces an anthropological itinerary through “mental health” and “territo- ry”, following the scienti c work and teaching of Tullio Seppilli (1928-2017). Seppilli’s interpretations concerning the anti-institutional democratic movement and the psy- chiatric reform in Italy are an excellent guide in order to analyze the relationships between mental suffering, community styles of work and social contexts. Along this di- rection, within a historical and international perspective, the article traces some steps of the anti-institutional movements in Italy and recent debates, which represent their continuation in a global landscape. The path through mental health in the territories allows us to question social change, collective action and the production of subjectivity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
