## Bio

Born February 15, 1905, Nise da Silveira trained in psychiatry at a time when the field's standard tools were institutionalization, electroconvulsive therapy, insulin shock, and lobotomy. She studied under Carl Jung and spent her career dismantling that orthodoxy from within, insisting that what her colleagues treated with aggression required something closer to understanding. The resistance was her life's work. She died October 30, 1999, having redrawn the boundaries of what psychiatric care could mean in Brazil.
