Resumo
This article presents part of the results of a bibliographical
research on conceptions of madness in Psychiatry and in Mental Health.
Publications in the LILACS database between 1999 and 2004 have been
analyzed. The amplest research was conducted by thematic areas and, in
the present article we have concentrated on two of them: publications that
confi rm conceptions of madness as medical illnesses; and publications
that defi ne madness by explicitly rejecting the psychiatric conception of
madness, discussing madness with other conceptions which maintain
a dialogue with the percipient objects (diagnostic descriptions) which Psychiatry has conceived throughout its history. These more recent
conceptualizations, which are sometimes called alternative, but are in
fact previous to the current conceptions of madness in Psychiatry (by
considering it a genetic disorder, for instance), pointing to theoretical
constructs that confi rm a conception of mind, of the psychological, from
a more individualized perspective to something resulting from social
inter-relations. Finally, we discuss how these conceptions of madness
are related to world conceptions (and, consequently, conceptions of
the human being) that are distinct and even exclude each other, with a
more naturalistic world vision in Psychiatry and a more sociological
and collectivist vision in Mental Health, which have both been clashing
beyond the scientifi c problems concerning madness.
