This work focuses on the Neoplatonist and magical-hermetic influences on the non-linear and complex pathway which led scientific psychiatry’s philosophy and practice towards their mature developments, throughout an excursus from Cardano and Fracastoro, passing by the breaking point represented by Paracelsus, to Van Helmont, Weyer and Vives. The emphasis is on the fruitful and not-contradictory link between magical and empirical world’s vision and the beginning of some innovative good practices, during the Renaissance era, for a modern and ethical conception of Psychiatry. That’s why, we will see how Renaissance scientific development, often inspired by Neoplatonist and hermetic philosophy, has allowed the development of a modern conception of the mental patients’ conditions and of the special care, both pharmacological and moral, that they need.
