“…Hasta ahora, el honor de ser la primera publicación realizada por pacientes psiquiátricos en una institución mental se le reconoce a la Retreat Gazette, que vio por primera vez la luz en agosto de 1837 en el Hartford Retreat for the Insane de Connecticut, Estados Unidos (De Young, 2015). De forma sorprendente, incluso varios años antes que el American Journal of Insanity, precursor del actual American Journal of Psychiatry, la primera revista psiquiátrica en lengua inglesa nacida siete años después en 1844 (Shepherd, 1992).…”

Resulta sorprendente que algunas publicaciones periódicas, editadas por personas con enfermedad mental en diversos entornos psiquiátricos, se remontan a hace casi dos siglos. Primero en las grandes instituciones psiquiátricas como parte integrante del tratamiento moral, para más recientemente dar el salto a otros entornos asistenciales y comunitarios, como son hospitales de día y comunidades terapéuticas. Sin embargo, a pesar de su dilatada historia y haber sobrevivido a las diferentes corrientes teóricas y asistenciales, siendo un fiel reflejo de sus postulados y métodos, llama la atención el poco caso e interés despertado en los ámbitos académicos en relación con su estudio y conservación, habiéndose perdido irremediablemente muchas de ellas para el futuro. El trabajo pretende rescatar del olvido dos de aquellos pioneros periódicos. Uno, “un periódico de considerable interés” en Essex (Inglaterra), que reclamaría para sí el honor de ser el primero de esas características en la historia, desplazando de esa posición a la Retreat Gazette de Connecticut (Estados Unidos). El segundo, el Sotto-Pancia, en Florencia, que precedió en el tiempo al Diario dell’ ospizio di San Benedetto promovido por Lombroso en Pesaro y considerado hasta ahora el primero en Italia.

“…74 Contributors included 'lawyers, teachers and clergymen as well as physicians, and their writings covered a broad spectrum of topics: case reports of abnormal or unusual behaviour, the structure of language, pedagogy, "actions without consciousness of motives, or the power of obscure ideas", and the relationship between psychology and religion'. 75 The magazine was founded upon the idea that '[a] theory of mind will only be available to us once a mass of data has been accumulated, in which 76 Macnish would later genuinely draw upon this 'mass of data' in The Philosophy of Sleep. 77…”

The periodical press in the early nineteenth century was a site of dynamic exchange between men of science and men of letters, and Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine was a particularly rich site of expression for medical ideas. This chapter explores the symbiotic relationship investigations of the Glaswegian surgeon and writer, Robert Macnish (1802-37), and in particular, his explorations of altered states of consciousness and phrenology. It is argued that his prose tales reveal the Blackwoodian 'tale of terror' to be an experimental template for the medical theorist and budding phrenologist, revealing problematic sites for medical hermeneutics in early nineteenth-century Scotland.

“…The term ‘psychological medicine’ is currently used with different meanings, particularly in the UK, despite the presence of a well-established journal [74] and academic chairs. In a restrictive sense, it is used as a synonym of liaison psychiatry, to indicate ‘the type of work practiced by psychiatrists based in general hospitals’ [[75], p 6].…”

The increasing influence of the pharmaceutical industry on psychiatric research and practice is leading to an intellectual and clinical crisis. A narrow concept of science attempts to apply oversimplified neurobiological models to the understanding and treatment of mental disorders, and relegates psychiatrists to a marginal role. This paper reviews some emerging trends of renewal that may be subsumed under the rubric of psychological medicine: use of a multidisciplinary approach, emphasis on psychotherapeutic strategies leading to self-management, reliance on repeated assessments, integration of different treatment modalities and independence from the pharmaceutical industry. The concept of psychological medicine, defined as the clinical application of the psychosomatic approach, may provide room for innovative paths in psychiatric research and treatment.
