Abstract

We study the incidence of «general paralysis of the insane» in the nineteenth century asylums and the reception of the neuropsichiatric concept in the bibliografic references and spanish books.The later introduction delated a poor clinic formation and a slow process of «organic approach » to mental disease in 19th spanish alienists.
