Biography
Nise da Silveira was born in Maceió, in the northeastern state of Alagoas,[1] Brazil, in 1905. She graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Salvador, Bahia in 1926, the only woman among 157 men.[1]
In 1952, she founded the Museum of Images of the Unconscious in Rio de Janeiro, a research center and archive aimed at studying and documenting the thousands of artworks her clients produced at the occupational therapy unit of the Pedro II (National) Center for Psychiatry. Through her work, Nise da Silveira introduced Jungian psychology to Brazil.[2]
In 1956, Nise da Silveira developed another revolutionary project that was ahead of her time: "Casa das Palmeiras", an outpatient clinic for formerly institutionalized clients, where they could freely express their art as they transitioned back into society. She also formed the C.G. Jung Study Group, which she chaired until 1968.[2]
Her research on occupational therapy and the use of artistic expression as a means for exploring and revealing the inner life of mentally ill patients led to various exhibitions, films, documentaries, audiovisual productions, courses, symposia, publications and conferences over the course of her life.[3] She was also a pioneer in researching affective bonds between patients and animals, whom she referred to as co-therapists.[citation needed]
In recognition of her work, Nise da Silveira was awarded decorations, titles and prizes in different areas of knowledge. She was a founding member of the International Society for Psychopathological Expression headquartered in Paris, France. Her work and ideas inspired the creation of museums, cultural centers, and therapeutic institutions in Brazil and overseas.[citation needed]
On July 8, 2022, the passage of Federal Law 14.401/2022 confirmed her entry into Brazil's "Livro dos Heróis e Heroínas da Pátria" (Book of National Heroes).[4]
Death
Nise died on October 30, 1999, in Rio de Janeiro.
Her life and work were portrayed by Glória Pires in the 2015 biographical Brazilian film Nise: The Heart of Madness, directed by Roberto Berliner.[5] Glória Pires also portrayed Nilse da Silveira in the 2022 Brazilian telenovela Além da Ilusão.[6]
Tribute
