The history of psychiatry is often portrayed through the metaphor of a pendulum, the profession swinging back and forth between a concern with psyche and soma. Recent work critiquing the pendulum metaphor, however, suggests that it does not account for the complexity of psychiatry. This article explores the metaphor through an analysis of the changing aetiological accounts of personality disorders associated with antisocial behaviour advanced in the American Journal of Psychiatry from 1950 onwards. It is argued that the social, scientific and economic factors which help shape overarching professional trends in psychiatry only partly structure personality disorder discourse. If the pendulum swings, therefore, not all psychiatrists move with it.

“…As long as the diagnosis of dementia praecox was gaining popularity in the US, Bleuler's ideas started to be studied by a small circle of psychiatrists in North-America (Noll, 2011). In 1912, the also Swiss neuropathologist August Hoch , then the director of the New York Psychiatric Institute, presented a summary of his careful review of Bleuler's 1911 book at a meeting of the New York Psychiatrical Society (Martin, 2007). Years earlier Hoch had been to the Burghölzli mental hospital in Zurich to train with Carl Jung (1875-1961) and Bleuler, and since then had been following their work with admiration (Noll, 2011).…”

“…Not much effort was needed to notice in this classification the influence of the intellectual "eclecticism" of the time (Cooper & Blashfield, 2016;Gelder, 2003;Martin, 2007;Sadowsky, 2006). The broad division of psychoses into organic and functional dated back to a pre-Kraepelin era (Beer, 1996).…”

The history of diagnostic classifications in psychiatry has been recognized as a privileged means of access to the vicissitudes inherent to the configuration of a scientific and professional field, also bringing significant contributions to conceptual history. We have taken as primary sources the five editions of the DSM (1952-2013) to examine the construction of diagnostic categories related to schizophrenia proneness, indicating the scientific and social contexts related to the development of DSM and psychiatry itself. Along this process we highlight the conditions of possibility for the emergence of the Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome, a highly controversial diagnostic proposal, in the elaboration of DSM-5. This proposal ended up being rejected not only on scientific grounds, but also because of feared unintended consequences.

“…Un esfuerzo por conciliar las ideas de Freud y Kraepelin, fue intentado por un discípulo norteamericano de este último, aunque de origen suizo, llamado August Hoch (1868-1919); su intento de demostración de eclecticismo no se ha mantenido en el tiempo (14). No se necesitaron muchos años para llegar a la interesante hipótesis órgano-dinámica de Henry Ey.…”

RESUMENEl presente trabajo intenta recorrer la evolución del pensamiento psiquiátrico desde el Siglo XIX hasta el XXI, a través de tres de sus más importantes representantes. Emil Kraepelin fue un positivista que quiso encontrar un método de exploración que le permitiera relacionar la clínica y la evolución con la alteración subyacente. Sigmund Freud introduce y formaliza el estudio de la subjetividad en la medicina de su tiempo, lo cual lo distancia enormemente de la corriente positivista entonces predominante. Henri Ey, va más allá de ambos, porque sin proponer una síntesis ecléctica, desarrolla un nuevo concepto de la enfermedad mental que no excluye ni la subjetividad ni el funcionamiento cerebral: la teoría órganodinámica, basada en el modelo desarrollado por Jackson en Inglaterra, a su vez inspirado en la ideas de Darwin sobre la evolución del Sistema Nervioso Central. De esta exploración es posible encontrar puntos de encuentro y aproximación entre las ideas de Ey y lo que hoy se denomina el pensamiento posmoderno, el cual también puede servir de nicho conceptual a las actuales neurociencias.PALABRAS CLAVE: Kraepelin, Freud, Ey, modernidad, posmodernidad. SUMMARYThis paper aims to explore the evolution of psychiatric thought between the 19 th and the 21 st . centuries by examining the work of three of its most important representatives. Emil Kraepelin was a positivist who worked to find a screening method that would allow a relevant connection between clinical course and the underlying disorder. Sigmund Freud introduced and formalized the study of subjectivity in the medicine of his time which distanced him greatly from the then prevailing Positivism. Henri Ey, goes beyond Kraepelin and Freud as, without proposing an eclectic synthesis, develops a new concept of mental illness which does not exclude subjectivity and brain function; he calls it, organodynamic theory, based on the model developed by Jackson in England, and in turn inspired by Darwin's ideas about the evolution of the Central Nervous System. A common ground is detected between Ey's approach and what is now called postmodern thought, which can also serve as a conceptual niche for the current neurosciences.
