Abstract

Ten years after the death of Gianfranco Cecchin, in response to the kind invitation of Metalogos and in honor of his memory, we cannot but reflect on the effect that his ideas and his work had on the Mental Health Center - Western Sector of Thessaloniki, Greece. Because for us it was a great honor and good fortune that we took part in the innovative, risky experiment that was the MHC, and that we experienced the great “revolution” from the inside.
