This study analyzes the relationship between psychiatric care and Brazilian political history at different points in time: in the second half of the nineteenth century, when the creation of the first asylum served as an affirmation of Imperial power; at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the introduction of psychiatry was part of the new Brazilian Republic's pledge to become a «civilized » nation; in the 1940s, when a centralized Brazilian State boosted the expansion of psychiatric care; and as of the 1970s, in which case the Brazilian psychiatric reform has run parallel to political redemocratization.
