Silvano Arieti (June 28, 1914 in Pisa, Italy – August 7, 1981 in New York City) was a psychiatrist regarded as one of the world’s foremost authorities on schizophrenia.

Quotes by Silvano Arieti  (?)

“The depressed person…sees a big discrepancy between what he aspired to in terms of human relations and life goals and what he can achieve in this meager reality. He cannot solve the conflict. What is available is not acceptable to him, and what would be acceptable he cannot grasp. He experiences the tragic situation of having no choice.”
Silvano Arieti

“If he controls your ideas he will soon control your actions, because every action is preceded by an idea.”
Silvano Arieti, The Will to Be Human

“Those who want to forget, to hide, or not to have their peace disturbed by what seems inconceivable must face the fact that the inconceivable was conceived and largely implemented. The destiny of mankind may to a large extent depend on the understanding that future generations have of the Holocaust and on the way they respond to this new awareness of the full potentiality of evil. If oblivion or undue permissiveness are allowed to hide the knowledge that what was called the Final Solution was to a considerable extent accomplished, man may move toward another and greater and realistically possible Final Solution for which there will be no chosen people, but for which all people will be chosen. Will this be man's last choice?”
Silvano Arieti, The Parnas: A Scene from the Holocaust
