Biography

Ángel Canaveris was born in Italy,[3] probably in the city of Genova, on one of the trips made in Europe, by his parents Juan Manuel Canaveris and Carmen Gutiérrez, daughter of Doctor Juan Gutiérrez Moreno and Lorenza Moxica.[4] After completing his secondary education in the Colegio Nacional, Canaveris entered as a student in the Facultad de Medicina of the University of Buenos Aires,[5] where he received his Doctorate in 1875.[6]

For the year 1875, the recent graduate Dr. Canaveris was settled in Montevideo, city where his mother was a native.[7] He was one of the first psychiatrists in the Mental Hospital of Uruguay. In 1878, Canaveris was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Pedro Visca, director of the Asylum between 1877 and 1878.[8] He also dedicated himself to teaching, serving in the Internato Normal de Señoritas, since its foundation.[9]

In 1879 the Dr. Ángel Canaveris, had promoted a resolution where the foreman should monitor that nurses do not give mistreatment of psychiatric patients. Canaveris reported that for an efficient mental treatment the patients should be contained with good treatment by their caregivers.[10]
