Abstract
Este artículo parte de una de las ponencias que inauguraron las XIII Jornadas de la Sección de Historia de la Asociación Española de Neuropsiquiatría celebradas en abril de 2024 en la Universidad de Murcia. De esa ponencia titulada “Historia de la asistencia psiquiátrica en Murcia” se ha recogido un breve repaso a aquellas instituciones que comenzaron a dar hospedaje a personas con enfermedad mental en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII hasta la Ley de Sanidad de 1986 que incluye los principios para la llamada Reforma Psiquiátrica. No sería posible entender el alcance y desarrollo de esta sin observar, como advertiría el psiquiatra Luis Valenciano, la trayectoria y experiencia de las generaciones anteriores y los cambiantes intereses de la Administración pública. La representación dealgunos psiquiatras en la promoción de instituciones más humanizadas y de una atención profesional con objetivos rehabilitadores, son algunos de los factores que fomentaron los discursos y las prácticas que promoverían los cambios hacia una asistencia comunitaria en el tratamiento de los problemas de salud mental.
This article stems from one of the keynote presentations that inaugurated the XIII Conference of the History Section of the Spanish Association of Neuropsychiatry held in April 2024 at the University of Murcia. From that presentation titled "History of psychiatric care in Murcia," a brief review has been compiled of those institutions that began providing shelter to people with mental illness in the first half of the 18th century up to the Health Law of 1986, which includes the principles for the so-called Psychiatric Reform. It would not be possible to understand the scope and development of this reform without observing, as psychiatrist Luis Valenciano would warn, the trajectory and experience of previous generations and the changing interests of public Administration. The role of some psychiatrists in promoting more humanized institutions and professional care with rehabilitative objectives are among the factors that fostered the discourses and practices that would promote changes toward community-based care in the treatment of mental health problems.
