Abstract
Danilo Cargnello was one of the greatest authors of Italian phenomenological psychopathology. He wrote the first articles on the subject in 1947-8, a period in which phenomenological ideas began to spread in Italy. His main contribution was to introduce and disseminate Binswanger's ideas in Italy and to emphasise the anthropological character of Daseinsanalyse. His book analysing results of experimental psychosis constitutes one of the most important and meticulous psychopathological reports of substance-induced psychosis. It is essential to keep alive the knowledge of phenomenological authors such as Cargnello, who are of great clinical and psychopathological relevance, and also to integrate the teachings they have left us into professional training.
