[The clinic of subjectivity in Spanish mental medicine, 1870-1910]

This article studies the changes in the psychopathological models established in Spanish mental medicine between 1870s and 1910s. Its primary sources are clinical histories and reference texts published in various media during this period. The study discusses how the introduction of the theory of degeneration occurred with conceptual changes, including the incorporation of new French psychopathology that emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. This integration allowed for the development of a new theoretical framework to better understand the internal experience of madness.
