“…Trained in the school of phenomenological psychopathology, to which he devoted several studies (including two monographs) 9 in the 1950s and 1960s, Lantéri-Laura contributed to the fields of history and epistemology of psychiatry an impressive scientific production. 10 Besides editing several classics of European psychiatry (Jean-Pierre Falret, Philippe Chaslin, Emil Kraepelin), his works cover: the history of concepts – perversion, hallucination, delusion, discordance, chronicity (Lantéri-Laura, 1979, 1991a, 1997); the history of studies on brain functions (Lantéri-Laura, 1970/1993, 1987, 1999; see also Hécaen and Lantéri-Laura, 1977, 1983); 11 and the epistemological problematization of the historiography of psychiatry, especially with respect to the history of medicine, a discipline whose scientific status he investigated through the analysis of both its theoretical and institutional changes (Lantéri-Laura, 1991b, 1994, 1998, 2005).…”
